GT-1033-Speed Pickups & #1 Bearing Seismic Probes, Disconnection and Removal
Notify your supervisor or site GE FE prior to removal of any speed probes, seismic probes, reference probe or cabling
found damaged, to assess probable cause and replacement requirements.
TIP – Occasionally, the load coupling guard bolting causes interference with the speed pickups, resulting in damage. These
guard bolts are sometimes shortened to protect the speed probes from damage. Review and comment accordingly for
disassembly and subsequent reassembly, as well as assessing need for further guidance if modifications required.
The Field Engineer/TA shall remove the last page of this procedure – Field Procedure Tracking Log. The Field FieldEngineer/
Engineer/TA shall complete the header information by adding the unit serial number and the specific part to TA Initial
4.0
which the Field Procedure will be applied. The Tracking Log shall be maintained in the Field Engineer/TA’s
office at all times. ___________
Return this Field Procedure to the Field Engineer or your Shift Supervisor when this activity is complete or at
5.0
the end of your shift, whichever happens first.
CAUTION:
The speed probe bracket is often heavy and awkward, and may require additional help or rigging to lift and
4.0 set off onto scaffold/platform or down to compartment floor. Contact your supervisor if you are unsure of
your ability to safely handle this item on your own to prevent personal injury or damage to hardware.
After checking that no further interference exists to prevent removing the speed probe bracket, lift and
remove the speed probe bracket and set aside, being careful not to damage the probes or conduits.
Check to be sure the spring dowel pins either stayed in place on the bearing pedestal, or stayed in the
bracket, but that they are not ‘loose’ anywhere. If they remove easily from the bearing pedestal, then
remove and place with the other hardware for reassembly later.
The GE Field Engineer/Technical Advisor or Craft Supervisor shall verify that all required removals have been
FE/Supv Initial
5.0 completed, that all parts have been bagged and/or tagged with the appropriate location clearly identified,
and that any required FME covers have been installed or reinstalled. ___________
