‘Should it be necessary to weld cracks on screens for temporary repairs, use this procedure: 4. Locate end of crack and drill one-fourth inch hole at teach end of crack to prevent crack from progressing 2. Gouge, chip, or grind out crack as shown in Fig. 6-2 (CROSS SECTION THRU CRACK Views CHIP OUT CRACK ‘ON ONE SIDE TO ‘THIS DEPTH wiew #2 982"— v8" MAX.

(VIEW #6) F1G. 6-9 — Finishing off weld IMPORTANT When using electric arc welding be sure ground wire is attached so that current cannot flow through bearings. MECHANISM DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY Handling Bearings Spherical roller bearingsare used in all RIPL-FLO mecha- isms. Take the following precautions when handling screen bearings. Work with clean tools, in clean surroundings. Be sure hands are clean and dry. Use clean, lint-free rags. Do not use cotton waste. Store new bearings in their original unopened package: ‘Do not open package until ready to install bearing, IMPORTANT When replacing bearings, use only precision Doarings built to Alis-Chalmers specifications. Donotuse “standard” commercial bearings. Any damage toa mechanism or bearing housing due to installation of a “standard” commercial De ing willbe the operator's responsibilty 5. Do not spin bearings with compressed &. Wash used bearing in clean kerosene or other approved solvent, then rinse in light oil and relubricate. Dismantling Mechanisms Here is detailed step-by-step, fully illustrated sequence for dismantling RIPL-FLO mechanisms. Similar assembly procedures follow. Before initiating the mechanism disas- Cembly, study the parts relationship shown in Fig. 6-3A, “Exploded view — typical RIPL-FLO vibrating mecha nism,” and Fig. 6-88, “Cutaway model of No, § RIPL-FLO, mechanism.” 4. Drain oil from oil-lubricated mechanism (Nos. 4-4,5-8 and 6-5). 2, Remove balance wheel bolt (3882-0) and washer (8880-0), See Figs. 6-4 and 6-6.
