PERSONNEL SAFETY
To ensure safety of personnel, proper care should be exercised when handling the engine and
its subassemblies and parts.
Many subassemblies are heavy.
Assistance of another person,
lifting device, or other support equipment is needed to manipulate them.
Personnel should not
try to handle heavy parts by hand.
Ensure that all lifting devices are in good working order.
Maintenance of the engine requires removal and installation of many large retaining rings that
are spring loaded.
Two approved methods for handling retaining rings safely are as follows:
Safety glasses (goggles) must be worn to protect the eyes in either case.
a. Place a wiping rag around retaining ring and hold in place with one hand.
Release
retaining ring with approved retaining ring pliers.
b. Place a small hammer handle on the shaft or in the bore of the hardware you’re working
on.
Hold hammer in place with one hand and release retaining ring using approved
retaining ring pliers.
