and the torsional analyst cooperatively develop
this information. The analyst provides a detailed
location in the TVA report.
2. Remove crankcase top cover and locate the crankshaft serial/production order number stamped on a
web or counterweight towards the drive end of the crankshaft .
3. Verify the crankshaft serial/production order number matches the stamping on the detuner(s). Detuners
are interchangeable for use on other crankshafts only if the crankshaft spreader diameter is within the
range stamped on the detuner. If this information is in question or missing, contact Ariel Response
Center before proceeding.
c. Lower both halves over the crankshaft. The angle of the 2. Bolt Head 4. Eyebolt Hole
eyebolts allows the halves to rotate around the Notch

8. If a crane is unavailable, or for smaller detuners without lifting holes:
CAUTION: Detuner parts are heavy. Use enough people to safely lift and position
detuner halves during installation to avoid personal injury or equipment damage.
a. Lower one detuner half onto the top of the crankshaft spreader section and hold.
b. Lower the other detuner half on top of the crankshaft spreader section beside the first half. Position it
in the same direction as the first; the threaded bolt holes for both halves should be on the same side
of the crankshaft.
c. Rotate one detuner half 90° around the crankshaft. Hold this half securely, then rotate the second
half around the crankshaft 90° in the opposite direction.
9. Move one or both detuner halves axially along the crankshaft until the bolt holes align. Lubricate threads
and bolt-head seating surfaces with oil or Lubriplate 630-AA, then install the top capscrew to finger tight.
10. If only one detuner is required, center it
on the crankshaft spreader section. If
two or more detuners are required,
center them in contact with each other
on the crankshaft spreader section, as
shown in FIGURE 2.
