PROBLEM
The existing compressor line clamps can fail on certain 797F and 798 AC Off-Highway Trucks with 4X4 Engine Air System. If the
existing clamps fail it can result in resultant damage to neighboring brackets or the compressor air line tubes. This will result
in unplanned downtime.

parts needed to satisfy the
program lies with the dealer.

ACTION REQUIRED

Replace the 156-5745 clamps and associated mounting hardware at an interval ranging from 2,000 hours minimum to 3,000 hours
maximum. Only replace at 2,000 hours if site failure history justifies. Additionally, check alignment on the clamps and tubes per
the attached Rework Procedure and shim as needed for alignment.

Record distance as A2 (see Image1.2.3)

 
Step 4.

Calculate the value of 'X' for location 1, using the following formula:

55.8 - A1 = 'X'
 
Step 5.

Determine which washer to use based on the value of 'X' (see Image1.5.1)

Image1.5.1
 
Step 6.

Place selected washer on top of the bracket at both bolt holes of location 1 (see Image 1.6.1)
