Checks and measurements
▪
Isolator Alignment: Inspect all six isolators to ensure proper alignment. If required,
unscrew the nuts and adjust the isolators so that the opposing threaded portions of
each isolator are aligned.
▪
Measure skew distance: Report any skew which is greater than 4 mm (measured from
bolt centre to bolt centre as shown in Figure M-28).
such as a ruler, calipers or similar.
Ensure proper alignment.
Minimise the skew distance and
report if over 4 mm.

▪
Compression check: Measure the distance of compression on all six isolators and
ensure that it is less than 21 mm as shown in Figure M-29. If it is greater than this
value, the isolator will be in tension and will likely fail. Contact the Customer Service
Centre.
