Introduction
Read all of the instructions before proceeding.
Refer to Kadant Johnson assembly drawing for part
identification and to drawing A37640 for torque
specifications. For easy identification, parts used in
individual steps are often accompanied with their
position in the assembly drawing [e.g. gasket (8B)].
Tighten all fasteners in a star pattern. Certified
drawings are available upon request. Dimensions
are for reference only and subject to change.
Safety
This safety symbol alerts you to risk of death or injury if the instructions
are not followed. In all steps, death or injury may result if the machine is
not de-energized, depressurized, cooled, and stopped. Death or injury
may occur if the product is operated with a fluid type or at a pressure,
temperature, or speed that do not meet its specifications. Death or
injury may occur if heavy parts and pinch hazards are not handled
properly. Follow your company's safety procedures.
Step 1
Disconnect the piping and anti-rotation device.
Remove the head.
Equipment must be cooled and free of pressure.
Step 2
Remove the pressure plate and split rings.
Important: Mark the end of the horizontal pipe
where it passes through the pressure plate or
measure and record the distance it is protruding
out. Refer to either during installation.
Note: In some instances a horizontal pipe handling
tool will be needed. Contact Kadant Johnson if one
is needed.
