DANGER!
Risk of injury due to suspended load
The heavy weight of the load means that there is a sig-
nificant risk of injury during transportation.
– Ensure that no personnel are within the danger
area of the suspended load and the transport
equipment.
– Only use appropriate transport and lifting equip-
ment for the load.
– Only lift the load at the lifting eyes provided.
Secure the piston with connecting rod on the associated cylinder unit
and carefully lift the cylinder unit along with the piston and connecting
rod carefully using appropriate lifting gear (load bearing capacity min.
100 kg).
NOTICE!
Hold the connecting rods in such a way that they do
not strike against the crankcase or cylinder wall and do
not slide with the piston from the cylinder.
The upper connecting rod bearings may fall during
lifting. In this case, remove the connecting rod bear-
ings from the crankcase and check for damage. Com-
pletely replace any damaged connecting rod bearings.
When lifting the cylinder unit, do not damage the studs.
10. Carefully set down the cylinder unit with piston and connecting rod on
its side on a soft surface.
11. Carefully pull the piston and connecting rod for the compression stages
out of the cylinder liner. Do not tilt the piston.

NOTICE!
Damage due to faulty piston rings
Do not continue using used piston rings. Doing so will
lead to damage to the piston and cylinder liner within a
short period of time.
– Only re-install pistons with new piston rings.
6. Insert new piston rings into the grooves on the piston using piston ring
pliers.
7. Position the piston rings so that the joint gaps are offset evenly. The
joint gaps must not be arranged one above the other.
8. Press the gudgeon pin into the piston so that the connecting rod can
still be pushed into the piston.
9. Position the hole for the gudgeon pin in the piston and gudgeon pin
bearing flush in the connecting rod eye and press the gudgeon pin
through it as far as the circlip.
10. Fit a second new circlip in the piston with circlip pliers.
11. Repeat the steps for all pistons.
12. The subsequent steps are only performed when assembling the cyl-
inder unit and crankcase.
Assembly
1. Clean the crankshaft and lubricate it with the oil used for operating the
Sauer-Compressor.
2. Lubricate the piston and cylinder liner with the oil used for Sauer-Com-
pressor operation.
3. Check that the joint gaps for the piston rings are evenly offset.
4. Hold together the piston rings with the tension band or using special
pliers.
5. Carefully insert the piston into the cylinder liner in the cylinder unit. Do
not tilt the piston.
NOTICE!
Damage caused by incorrect position and align-
ment of the connecting rods
Take note of the position and alignment of the con-
necting rods on the crankshaft (e.g., with prior mark-
ings on the upper sections of the connecting rods).
The connecting rods must be installed in the same
position and alignment as they were in before they
were removed. Otherwise, optimal lubrication during
operation cannot be guaranteed.
NOTICE!
Damage caused by loose components
Secure the connecting rods in such a way that they do
not strike against the cylinder wall and do not slide with
the piston from the cylinder.
The upper connecting rod bearings may fall. Insert the
upper connecting rod bearings only when the respec-
tive connecting rod is guided towards the crankshaft.
Do not damage the studs when fitting the cylinder units
onto the bare compressor.
13. Carefully lift the cylinder unit and then carefully guide the upper section
of the connecting rod and the upper connecting rod bearing onto the
crankshaft.
14. Carefully fit the upper section of the connecting rod with the upper con-
necting rod bearing on the crankshaft.
15. Carefully place the cylinder unit on the bare compressor.
16. Screw the retaining nuts onto the studs and tighten by hand.
17. Repeat the steps with the other cylinder unit.
NOTICE!
Damage caused by incorrect positioning of the
connecting rod
The only way to ensure that the connecting rods are
positioned correctly on the crankshaft is to fit them as
specified and carefully screw them in by hand.
After tightening, all connecting rods should rotate
easily on the crankshaft.
20. Turn the crankshaft through a complete revolution by turning the fly-
wheel and check that the connecting rod rotates easily on the crank-
shaft.
21. If the connecting rod does not rotate easily on the crankshaft, loosen
the connecting rod bolts again and repeat steps 13 to 16.
22. Tighten the connecting rod bolts using the specified tightening torque
Ä Chapter 2.2 ‘Requirements for maintenance work’ on page 7.
23. Tighten the retaining nuts for the cylinder unit crosswise using the
specified tightening torque Ä Chapter 2.2 ‘Requirements for mainte-
nance work’ on page 7.
24. Remove the lifting gear from the cylinder unit.
25. Turn the flywheel so that the crankshaft completes one full revolution
to ensure that nothing is jammed.
26. Fit the crankcase inspection cover with a new gasket.
27. Insert the new gasket and o-ring for the valve cover, slightly greasing
the o-ring.
28. Install the valve cover, screwing the valve cover nuts hand tight.
Final tasks 1. Attach the hoses and pipelines at the cylinder heads and tighten by
hand.
2. Securely tighten the fixing nuts on the valve cover crosswise. Observe
the tightening torque: Ä Chapter 2.2 ‘Requirements for maintenance
work’ on page 7.
3. Securely tighten the hoses and pipelines.
4. Open the cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet.
5. Open the cooling water solenoid valve for filling.
During the measurement make sure that the piston rings are
parallel with one another. To do this, use the piston
belonging to the cylinder without piston rings as a depth
stop.
1. 1st measurement:
Push the piston ring into the cylinder about 5 mm below the upper
edge of the cylinder and above the visible running surface of the piston
rings. Measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
2. 2nd measurement:
Push the piston ring into the cylinder about 50 mm below the upper
edge of the cylinder and within the visible running surface of the piston
rings. Measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
3. Calculate the difference between the end gaps from the 1st and
2nd measurements, and compare this with the values in the permitted
end gap differences table.
DANGER!
Risk of injury due to suspended load
The weight of the motor means that there is a significant risk
of injury when lifting and transporting the motor.
– Ensure that no personnel are within the danger area of
the suspended load and the transport equipment.
– Only use appropriate transport and lifting equipment to
lift and transport the motor.
– Only lift the motor at the eye bolts provided.
