Parts needed for rework include: (2) 161-8693 Hubs and (2) 167-7478 Spacers.

NOTE: Rework should be performed in a shop with adequate lifting devices that are capable of lifting at least 4086 kg (9000 lb).

On some of the RR-250B and SS-250B machines the bolts that mount the 110-3822 Hub to the side of the rotor hood have loosened and been sheared off by the chain case. Parts are now available to rework these models and eliminate the bolts required to hold the hub to the rotor hood. Use the following procedure to complete this rework:

1. Refer to the RR/SS-250B Disassembly and Assembly Manual KENR2963, Pages 30 to 32 in order to remove the rotor group.

2. When the rotor group has been removed, refer to the RR/SS-250B Disassembly and Assembly Manual KENR2963, Pages 41 to 43 in order remove the rotor hood.
