PLANETARY GEARING MAINTENANCE (Contd)

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

WARNING

Volatile mineral spirits burn easily and fumes can explode. Do not

smoke or allow flames nearby when using volatile mineral spirits.

Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death to personnel.

1. Clean all gears and shafts thoroughly with mineral spirits and dry with a lint-free rag.

2. Inspect front planetary carrier (1), center planetary carrier (5), rear planetary carrier (7), and

center ring gear (11) for indication of wear or overheating, scratches, burrs, breaks, and heavy

metal contamination. Replace front planetary carrier (1), center planetary carrier (5), or rear

planetary carrier (7) if damaged.

3. Measure clearance between front planetary carrier bushing bore (2) and mating surface on sun

gear (3). Replace front planetary carrier (1) if clearance exceeds 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) between

bushing (2) and mating surface of sun gear (3).

4. Measure clearance of output shaft bushing (8) on output shaft (9) and main shaft (10). Replace

output shaft (9) if clearance exceeds 0.0065 in. (0.165 mm).

5. Inspect sun gears (3), (4), and (6) for wear or overheating, scratches, burrs, breaks, and heavy

metal contamination. Replace sun gears (3), (4), or (6), if damaged.

6. Inspect main shaft (10) for wear or damage. Replace main shaft (10), if damaged.
