Scoring.
Slight scoring, scuffing, galling, or other surface
damage
is identified
by tears
or scratches
in the direction of sliding. it starts in areas
having the highest stress and
speed.
This is usually at the tip of the teeth.
.
Burning.
Burning is indicated
by discoloration and loss of hardness
due to excessive
temperature.
This is caused
by too much friction resulting
from overload,
overspeed,
lack of backlash,
or faulty lubrication.
If discoloring can be wiped off with clean cloth,
such discoloring
usually can be traced to oilburn-trains,
which are not serious.
.
Rolling.
This damage
occurs mainly on plastic gears.
Rolling is when material
is pushed
out of shape
without breaking
off. This is caused
by heavy,
even loads; sliding; or
overheating.
.
Brinelling.
This can be identified
by tiny indentations
or ridges on the shoulder or race
of a bearing.
Splines.
Inspect shaft splines for wear,
pitting, rolling, peening,
and fatigue cracks.
In many
cases,
the same
inspection
procedure
will apply to gears.
However,
the problem,
if present,
will often be much less pronounced.
Have
a magnetic particle
inspection
performed
on splines,
if needed.
Tubes,
Hoses,
Fittings,
and Connections.
Check all hose surfaces
for broken or frayed
fabric.
Check
for breaks
caused
by sharp kinks or rubbing against
other
parts of the truck.
Inspect
air tubes for kinks.
Inspect the fitting threads for damage.
Replace
any part found defective.
Following
assembly
and during initial operation,
check for leaking
fittings and connections
by
coating
fittings and connections
with soap solution. No leakage
is permissible.
Electrical
Parts.
Inspect
all wiring harnesses
for chafed or burned
insulation.
Inspect all
terminal
connectors
for loose connections
and broken parts.
Metal
Parts.
Visually
inspect all castings and weldments
for cracks.
Parts that carry a great
load should receive
magnetic
particle
inspection. Critical nonferrous
parts may be inspected
with fluorescent
penetrant.
10.
Brake Drums. Check surfaces of brake drums for cracks or badly scored finish and for glossy
or heat spots. Check
brake drums for external or mating surface cracks and for balancing weight.

operations
are hazardous

eyes.
Eye protection
is
required
to help prevent
injury to personnel.
Burrs.
Remove
burrs from gear teeth with a fine-cut file or hand grinder.
Remove
burrs on
closely
fitted mating surfaces
by lapping the surfaces with abrasive
grade compound.
