Slide one of the DROP-IN TRIPLE TECT seal assembles on shaft to the proper location for assembly nto the housing. The lip of the V-ring seal must face the bearing Figure 6) Figure 6 2. Mount bearing in its proper postion on shaft following appropriate bearing mounting instructions. ‘8. Slide the second DROP-IN TRIPLE TECT seal assembly on shaft Lo the proper location. The lip of the V-ring seal must face the bearing, 4, Thoroughly clean seal grooves and mating surfaces on both housing halves. Mount housing base to framawork. Paok eeal grooves with grease. 5. Align the center rb of each seal ring with its corresponding ‘center seal groove in the housing base. 6. While lowering the shatt, bearing and seal assembly into the base, guide the metal seals with eubber bead so they line up with the outboard "V"-shaped base grooves (Figure 6a). See beating mounting instructions for proper grease fll of bearing and housing, 7! t Figure 63 } 7. Pack housing cap seal grooves with grease then install on 'base, While lowering the cap into the base make sure the metal seals with rubber bead line up with the outboard "V". shaped ‘cap grooves (Figure 6b). Tighten cap bolts to proper torque value. The rubber bead forms a positive seal in the "V"= shaped outer groove of the housing Figure 6b 8. Apply a thick coat of grease to any exposed suriace of the Vering seals. SPLIT SEAL: Giean seal grooves and mating surfaces on both housing halves. Postion split seal into lower housing grooves, Locata spit at top of shaft. Thread tie-strap down through relieved hole in notched ond of seal and up through small hole in rounded end (of seal (Figure 7), With tie head seated in the hole, draw tie ‘cross spilt, through tie head and pull tightly (Figure 8} so seal cannot rotate on shaft. Cut away excess tie. Rotate shatt slowly and position seal so it does not rub against nousing grooves. Belore assembling cap to base, grease cap seal grooves and the ‘exposed surfaces ofthe spit seals. Tighten cap base. NOTE: The tie is self-locking and once the seal fs pulled tight, the ‘excess te strap should be cut away. Refeved Hole ‘Sal Hote Figure 7 Figure 8 AUXILIARY TACONITE SEAL: 1.
