Improved Engine Enclosure Now Available {7263}

Usage:


16H (6ZJ, 3JR) Motor Graders

Description of Change: The new engine enclosure design removes the enclosure from the fuel tank and provides a stand-alone support mounted to rear case rails. The door panels and hood go from 2.0 mm (.08 in) to 3.0 mm (.12 in) thick material. The dash goes from 3.0 mm (.12 in) to 5.0 mm (.20 in) thick material. The thicker material allows for improved mounting points for attachments.

Adaptable To: The new 170-7515 Engine Enclosure is a replacement for the former 103-1237 Engine Enclosure. The change is effective with 16H (6ZJ584, 3JR45) Motor Graders. Refer to the chart and procedure that follows to adapt earlier machines.

NOTE: Some components and hardware are used from the former 103-1237 Engine Enclosure in addition to the required parts listed in the chart.

Procedure To Adapt Earlier Machines

Machine Prep Information:

1. Remove the following items from unit:

a. 112-6723 Fan Access Panel (left side).
b. 110-2106 Door As. (left side), will need 113-8457 Retaining Rod and hardware later.
c. 110-2241 Fan Access Panel (right side).
d. 110-1266 Door As. (right side), will need 113-8457 Retaining Rod and hardware later.
e. 2A-7107 Hood As.
f. (2) 2A-6801 Plates with 8D-3786 Mounts from rear of fuel tank.
g. Battery boxes with brackets from both sides. (On units 16H (6ZJ1-237, 3JR1-44) Motor Graders, former supports will have to be replaced with (1) 139-3225 Support, (1) 139-3226 Support and (2) 161-4424 Covers).
h. 112-6721 Plate As. and 112-9807 Plate As. from behind battery boxes.
i. 110-5735 Plate As. and 110-4811 Plate As. for door hinges, striker and hood bumper from left and right front sides of fuel tank.
j. 2A-7077 Dash with mounting brackets, 2A-6764 Plate, 129-2034 Plate As. and 8D-3786 Mounts.

NOTE: The 2A-6381 Plate and the grommets going to engine block will be used during assembly.

2. Remove two (2) bolts from 130-3512 Plate on the fuel tank which holds the disconnect switch and P1, P2 test ports and tie back out of the way.

NOTE: We will assemble later.

3. Remove front two (2) bolts from air cleaner support, loosen the two (2) in back. Using pencil grinder slot front two holes in 100-4099 Plate 1/2 inch towards the front of unit. Assemble cleaner to base with same hardware. This will allow the air cleaner housing to pivot towards the front and provide clearance to remove filter.

NOTE: Use extreme caution not to pull any hoses loose from air cleaner body, which may result in damage to engine.

4. Cut off the 9K-3050 Stud on left rear case rail for battery ground, we will relocate later.

5. Remove bolts from 8X-5444 Brake Valve Relay Brackets on both sides and tie valve back out of the way. Air arc off 7F-3206 Lugs from case rail, we will relocate later.

Refer to Service Magazine, October 6, 1997, Page 44, "Proper Welding Procedure On Machines And Engines With Electronic Controls".

------ WARNING! ------

Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill.

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices. Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area. Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection. Do not touch live electrical parts.

Refer to the American National Standard Z49.1 "Safety in Welding and Cutting" published by the American Welding Society, 2501 N.W. 7th Street, Miami, Florida 33125: OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29 CRF 1910, available from U.S. Dept. of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20408.

-------WARNING!-------

Weld Specifications And Parameters

NOTE: Welding operator personal protection should be provided to assure that total weld fume in the operators breathing zone does not exceed OSHA limits.

All repair welding operators must be qualified for groove and fillet welding, as outlined the current ANSI/AWS D14.3. The qualification will be for the SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) process in the vertical welding positions. The welding operator must also have used this welding process during the last six months or be re-certified for this process before welding. Documentation must be maintained of the weld operators qualifications. The alternate process for this repair could be FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding).

The area to be welded and the surrounding area must be at a minimum temperature of 16° C (60° F) before and during welding.

NOTE: Since weld distortion is a possibility, minimizing the heat is important.

The SMAW process shall be used with E7018 (ANSI/ AWS A5.5) welding electrode in open environments. The GMAW or the FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) should be used in enclosed environments. The weld deposited by these electrodes will have the following minimum mechanical properties:

500 MPa (72 KSI) Tensile Strength
420 MPa (60 KSI) Yield Strength
22% elongation in 50 mm (2 in)
27 J (20 ft lb) Notch Toughness at -29° C (-20° F)

These are low hydrogen electrodes and must be stored in an electrode oven at 120° C (250° F) when not in use. If the electrodes get damp, scrap or recondition them to the manufacturer's specifications.

Where possible, welds should be made in the flat or horizontal position.

The following chart relates to the electrodes diameter and approximate current settings for welding:

Use the direct current electrode positive (DC reverse polarity) polarity setting and remove the slag after every pass. The weld pass size shall not exceed two times the electrode diameter.

Welding parameters will vary due to weld position and manufacturer of the welding electrode.

Clean the metal of oil, grease, paint, and dirt in the area to be welded. Attach the welding ground cable directly to the area to be welded. Protect all machined surfaces from sparks or splatter produced by the welding, chipping, and/or grinding operations.

The welds shall be free from cracks, porosity, undercut, and incomplete fusion. All weld quality shall conform to ANSI/AWS D14.3.
