A lack of training or experience can lead to incorrect hardware installation or incorrect tool use. Only trained operators with careful, deliberate actions should use hydraulic tensioners. Contact Riverhawk Company with any training needs. WARNING Risk of high pressure hydraulic fluid injection. Riverhawk tools operate under high pressure. Thoroughly inspect all hoses and connections for damage or leaks prior to using this equipment. CAUTION Personal injury and equipment damage can occur if the proper health and safety codes and procedures are not followed. Contact the site’s health and safety office to determine all applicable safety rules and regulations. WARNING The proper personal protective equipment must be worn at all times. Riverhawk recommends at a minimum, safety glasses, long sleeve shirt, hard hat, heavy work gloves, and steel toe shoes. CAUTION It is especially important to check the condition of the conical thread used to tension the stud. Thread damage from previous abuse can lead to failure of the stud or tensioning equipment CAUTION Riverhawk recommends that the tensioner should be returned to Riverhawk for periodic inspections. Replacement of obsolete tensioners is recommended. Functional upgrades are also recommended. The Riverhawk Service Returns Coordinator should be notified 3‐6 months prior to a planned outage to schedule an inspection service. WARNING A damaged burst disc must be replaced with a with a burst disc of the same design and pressure rating. Do not substitute a damaged burst disc with a different disc type, a different pressure rating, or a foreign object. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 3 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 WARNING To avoid failure, ensure safety, and proper operation, the tensioner assembly must be installed on a stud in the flange before bleeding and pressurizing the tensioner. Do not use the tensioner at any pressure unless the tool is installed on a stud in a flange. CAUTION Do not over stroke the tensioner. Over stroke can cause the piston to lose its seal and leak oil. CAUTION Personal injury and equipment damage can occur if the puller screw is not securely engaged with the tapered threads of the stud. Proper engagement is achieved when the puller screw is tight in the stud and the tensioner assembly is free to turn. WARNING The safety cage must be in place at all times. When the tensioner is pressurized hands must be kept out of designated areas to avoid any potential for personal injury. CAUTION Before threading the puller screw into the stud, carefully check the cleanliness of both the stud's and the puller screw's conical threads. Apply a light coat of clean turbine oil or a spray lubricant to the puller screw. This procedure will ease assembly and assure positive mating of the threads before tightening. Do not use “Never Seize” on the conical threads. CAUTION Do not tighten the nut while the tool is coming up to pressure; wait until pressure is achieved before attempting to tighten the nut with the spanner ring. If the tool is not properly installed, the tool could jump off the stud while coming up to pressure. CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tensioner. Excessive pressure can damage the stud and puller screw. WARNING FIRE HAZARD: DO NOT heat when puller assembly is in place. Personal injury or equipment damage may occur. Use of an Oxy‐Acetylene torch is not recommended 2.0 Scope This document describes the procedure to be used to install the stud and nut sets supplied by the Riverhawk Company in the flanges at the Turbine/Coupling, Coupling/Generator, and Steam Turbine/Generator connections. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 4 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 The various frame configurations covered in this manual are listed in Sections 2.1 through 2.9 with differences as related to connective hardware defined.

Do NOT bleed tensioner off of a stud! Damage to the tool will result! □ Apply final pressure. □ Loosen nut with the spanner ring and pin wrench. □ Move to next stud in pattern 4.0 General Preparations Read and understand all instructions before installing and tensioning studs. Operators should be trained or have previous experience using Riverhawk tensioning equipment. Training will minimize the chance of improper use of the equipment. The hydraulic tooling including the hydraulic hoses should be inspected prior to use. Inspection guidelines are listed in the following sub‐sections. This equipment produces very high hydraulic pressures and very high forces. Operators must exercise caution and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment when handling and operating the hydraulic tooling. High‐pressure oil from the hydraulic pump pressurizes the tensioner which generates a very large force that actually stretches the stud. As the stud is stretched the nut lifts off the flange. The nut is then turned by hand using the supplied spanner ring. Once the nut is tight against the flange, the pressure in the tensioner is released. The hardware is now clamping the flange together. 4.1 Machine Preparation The flange to be tensioned must be fully closed prior to positioning the studs in the flanges. There must be provisions for turning the shafts of the turbine, coupling, gearbox, and generator. Also, it will be advantageous to remove as many obstructions as possible from the flange area, such as speed probes and conduit. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 10 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 4.2 Hardware – Balance The studs are supplied in component balanced sets. A stud can be exchanged with another in its set without affected the overall balance of the equipment. Do not exchange a stud from one set with another stud from a different set. When shipped from Riverhawk, the studs are not assigned to any specific hole in the load coupling flange; this is optional and can be done at the installation site. The set size is determined by the relevant GE order drawing (see section 2.0). The nuts are supplied in component balanced sets. A nut can be exchanged with another in its set without affecting the overall balance of the equipment. Do not exchange a nut from one set with another nut from a different set. When shipped from Riverhawk, the nuts are not assigned to any specific hole in the load coupling flange; this is optional and can be done at the installation site. The set size is determined by the relevant GE order drawing (see section 2.0). A weight balance certification is supplied with each order. Store this certification in an appropriate location as it will be needed for the purchase of replacement equipment. 4.3 Tensioner – Care and Handling When not in use, the tensioner shall be maintained in a clean environment and all caps and plugs for hydraulic openings and fittings must be in place. Use ISO 32 grade oil. When in use, the tensioner shall be protected from sand and grit. See section 12 for long term storage requirements. 4.4 Hand Tools Several hand wrenches and micrometers will be required to perform installation and measurement of the studs: 5/8” wrench A set of Allen Wrenches 3’ – 4’ Breaker Bar 8” to 9” micrometer 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 11 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 4.5 Riverhawk Tools Hydraulic Tensioner Kits: Note: Review section 2 to determine the correct tensioner to use.

The Riverhawk Service Returns Coordinator should be notified 3‐6 months prior to a planned outage to schedule an inspection service. 5.0 Hardware Set Preparations 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 12 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 5.1 Nut Preparation Set Screw 1 of 2 Spanner Ring Holes 1 of 2 Picture 5A – Riverhawk Locknut If there is any visible damage on a nut, do not use the nut and contact the Riverhawk Company for a replacement nut. Please be prepared to supply the turbine number, weight certification, and digital photographs for evaluation. 5.1.1 Nut Cleaning ‐ New Installations For new installations, the nuts should come sealed from the factory and will need no cleaning. Before threading the nut onto the stud, the set screws should be loose and free to turn. 5.1.2 Nut Cleaning ‐ Old Installations Previously installed nuts require cleaning as follows: Wire brush using a petroleum‐based solvent to remove any foreign material on the external surfaces and threads. Before threading the nut onto the stud, the set screws should be loose and free to turn. 5.1.3 Nut Cleaning ‐ Very Old Installations If previous installations employed a thread‐locking compound, which will be visible as a grayish‐ green residue, remove as much of this compound as possible. Finish the cleaning process by rinsing in a volatile solvent such as acetone and allow to dry. Riverhawk Company strongly recommends replacing this style of nut with the current nut with a re‐useable mechanical locking feature. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 13 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 5.2 Stud Preparation Check the stud for any visible damage. If there is any visible damage, do not use the stud and contact the Riverhawk Company for a replacement stud. Please be prepared to supply the turbine number, weight certification, and digital photographs for evaluation. CAUTION It is especially important to check the condition of the conical thread used to tension the stud. Thread damage from previous abuse can lead to failure of the stud or tensioning equipment. The conical threads of each stud must be clean of grit and dirt before installation or removal. This ensures the proper seating of the puller screw. 5.2.1 Stud Cleaning ‐ New Installations For new installations, the studs should come sealed from the factory and will need no cleaning. 5.2.2 Stud Cleaning ‐ Old Installations Previously installed studs may require cleaning. Clean conical threads should have a bright and shiny appearance. If cleaning is required, follow these steps: 1. Blow out the threads with compressed air to remove loose debris and dry conical threads. Do not apply a solvent or other cleaning solution to the threads as this may chemically attack the stud. 2. Use Stud Cleaning Kit, GT‐4354 or a similar 1/2" diameter Brass power brush. Picture 5B ‐ Brass Power Brush 3. Insert the brush into an electric drill and set drill to run in a counterclockwise direction at high speed. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 14 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 4. Work the drill in a circular motion while moving the brush in and out to clean all of the threads. Try not to hold the brush in one place too long, so as not to remove the stud's protective coating. 5. Blow out the threads with compressed air to remove loosened debris. 6. Visually inspect threads for cleanliness. Threads should be bright and shiny. 7. Repeat if any dirt can be seen in the threads. 8. Inspect threads for any damage that may have been caused by previous installation. 9. Do not apply thread lubricants such as “Never Seize” to the stud’s threads. 10. Finish the cleaning process by rinsing in a volatile solvent such as acetone and allow to dry. 5.2.3 Stud Cleaning ‐ Very Old Installations If previous installation employed a thread locking compound, which will be visible as a grayish‐ green residue, remove as much of this compound as possible from the stud’s threads. Finish the cleaning process by rinsing in a volatile solvent such as acetone and allow to dry. 5.3 Stud Length Measurement Measure and record the initial lengths of the studs. The following suggestions will improve your results. Plan to start and finish any flange in the same day. Studs and flange must be at the same temperature. Number each stud with a marker for later stretch measurement tracking. Mark the location of measurement on stud end with a permanent marker. Measure each stud to nearest 0.001 inch (.01 mm). Record each measurement on the supplied record sheets. Do not allow the measuring instruments to sit in the sun. The same person should make all measurements. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 15 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 6.0 Stud and Nut Assembly Refer to the hardware assembly drawing (HF‐xxxx) listed in Section 2.0 of this manual. 1.

While firmly holding the tube or hose end to stop it from rotating, turn the gland nut clockwise (right hand thread) and torque the gland nut to 25 FT‐LBS (34 N‐m). Illustration 3 Tips: Make sure all parts are clean and free from debris. Protect the cone on the end of the 1/4” tube or 1/4” hose end from scratches as this is the sealing surface. Replace red plastic caps when finished to protect the threads and cone. 8.0 Assembly of Tensioner on Stud The tensioner used in this application can be identified by its YELLOW safety guard. If the tensioner’s safety guard is ORANGE, a different set of instructions are required. Consult the Riverhawk factory for assistance. 8.1 Handling of the Tensioner The tensioner used in this application is designed to require no special lifting instructions. Do not drop any part of the tensioner on the operator or other nearby personnel. 8.2 Tensioner Kit Assembly This assembly has the following features which should make stud tensioning safer and easier. The safety cage is integral (bolted) to the tensioner The hydraulic piston is spring loaded to retract The puller screw is a 2‐piece design. This requires that the operator tighten the puller screw into the stud and then install a puller nut. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 21 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Pin Wrench Safety Cage Nut Stud Cylinder Piston Nut Puller Screw Hex Drive Gas Turbine Or Generator Flange Puller Nut Spanner Ring Load Coupling Flange Hydraulic Burst Disc Port Figure 8A – Cross‐section View of HT‐0716 on 7EA Gas Turbine Load Coupling Flange 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 22 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Pin Wrench Safety Cage Stud Nut Nut Cylinder Piston Puller Screw Hex Drive Gas Turbine Or Generator Flange Puller Nut Spanner Load CouplingRing Hydraulic Burst Disc Port Flange Figure 8B – Cross‐section View of HT‐2176 on 7EA Gas Turbine Load Coupling Flange 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 23 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Pin Wrench Safety Cage Stud Nut Nut Cylinder Piston Puller Screw Hex Drive Puller Nut Spanner Ring Gas Turbine Flange Hydraulic Burst Disc Port Load Coupling Flange Adapter Figure 8C – Cross‐section View of HT‐5347 on 7EA Gas Turbine Load Coupling Adapter Flange Assembly sequence is as follows: 1. Open the hydraulic return valve on the pump to allow hydraulic fluid to be pushed back from the puller tool into the pump reservoir. (This is automatic on the air‐operated hydraulic pump) 2. Place the spanner ring on the puller side cylindrical nut. 3. Apply a light coat of clean turbine oil or a spray lubricant to the puller screw. Do not use “Never Seize” on the conical threads. 4. Place and hold the puller tool over the end to be tightened. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 24 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 5. Insert the puller screw through the tensioner into the tapered thread of the stud and tighten. 6. Be sure not to cross‐thread the assembly. 7. Tighten the puller screw using Allen wrenches on the puller screw and the stud. DO NOT wrench on the Hex nut opposite the tensioner. 8. Install the puller nut until it seats snugly on the piston and then back‐off 2 flats. This is particularly important for removal because the stud shortens during disassembly and the tensioner may then bind. 9. At this point the Tensioner Assembly MUST BE FREE TO ROTATE, the puller screw is tight in the stud and the puller nut has been backed‐off the 2 flats. Note: If the tool is not free to rotate it is most likely that the nuts must be repositioned so that the stud may be shifted slightly to the puller tool side of the flange. This can be accomplished as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Back off the puller nut and slightly loosen the puller screw. Back off the Hex nut opposite the puller tool about 1 /2 turn. Tighten the puller screw side cylindrical nut to take up the slack. Retighten the puller screw per above and check for tool looseness. CAUTION Do not over extend the stud. Over extension can cause the piston to lose its seal and leak oil. CAUTION Personal injury and equipment damage can occur if the puller screw is not securely engaged with the tapered threads of the stud. Proper engagement is achieved when the puller screw is tight in the stud and the tensioner assembly is free to turn. 8.3 Bleeding the Hydraulic System WARNING To avoid failure, ensure safety, and proper operation, the tensioner assembly must be installed on a stud in the flange before bleeding and pressurizing the tensioner. Do not use the tensioner at any pressure unless the tool is installed on a stud in a flange. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 25 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Hydraulic Hose Connection Port ‐ or – Air Bleeding Port Hydraulic Hose Connection Port ‐ or – Air Bleeding Port *Use coned‐stem Bleeder fitting *Use coned‐stem Bleeder fitting Picture 8D – Bleed Port Location The tensioner assembly has three ports, one for pressurizing, one for bleeding the system, and a third pressure relief port. To facilitate bleeding, start by first mounting the tensioner at either the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock stud position. The bleed port must always be oriented in the uppermost position. In addition, make sure that the pump is always situated below the tensioner assembly. The tensioner is equipped with a 5/8 in. [16 mm] hex coned stem bleeder fitting installed. With this fitting loosened, stroke the pump repeatedly until the stream of oil exiting the tool is free of air then retighten the fitting. Note: The hose is stiff; use of this tooling can be simplified by temporarily installing the tensioner on one stud prior to final tightening of fittings. This will reduce the tendency for the fittings to loosen during use. 9.0 Stud Tensioning The studs will be tensioned in two steps, at approximately 50% pressure and at final pressure. Follow the tensioning sequence for each flange joint as defined on the data sheets found at the end of this manual. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 26 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 9.1 Tensioning at 50% pressure After the tensioner is properly installed apply hydraulic pressure to the tool. Bring the pressure to the 50% level in accordance with the following table. WARNING The safety cage must be in place at all times. Keep hands out of designated areas at all times when the tensioner is pressurized otherwise personal injury can occur. CAUTION Before threading the puller screw into the stud, carefully check the cleanliness of both the stud's and the puller screw's conical threads. Apply a light coat of clean turbine oil or a spray lubricant to the puller screw. This procedure will ease assembly and assure positive mating of the threads before tightening. Do not use “Never Seize” on the conical threads. CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tensioner. Excessive pressure can damage the stud and puller screw. CAUTION Do not tighten the nut while the tool is coming up to pressure; wait until pressure is achieved before attempting to tighten the nut with the spanner ring. If the tool is not properly installed, the tool could jump off the stud while coming up to pressure.

Release the puller tool pressure by opening the valve on the pump. Leave valve open. (This is automatic on the air‐operated hydraulic pump) 2. Unscrew the puller screw using a wrench. 3. Tapping the allen wrench with a hammer may be necessary to loosen the puller screw 4. Move the tool to the next stud/nut assembly to be tensioned, following the sequence/pattern as defined on the supplied data sheets 9.3 Tensioning at Final Pressure Repeat the pulling and tightening procedure stated above at full pressure. After all of the studs have been tensioned, measure the final stud length. The final pressure and required stretch values are listed in the following table. WARNING The safety cage must be in place at all times. Keep hands out of designated areas at all times when the tensioner is pressurized otherwise personal injury can occur. CAUTION Before threading the puller screw into the stud, carefully check the cleanliness of both the stud's and the puller screw's conical threads. Apply a light coat of clean turbine oil or a spray lubricant to the puller screw. This procedure will ease assembly and assure positive mating of the threads before tightening. Do not use “Never Seize” on the conical threads. CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tensioner. Excessive pressure can damage the stud and puller screw. CAUTION Do not tighten the nut while the tool is coming up to pressure; wait until pressure is achieved before attempting to tighten the nut with the spanner ring. If the tool is not properly installed, the tool could jump off the stud while coming up to pressure.

Have final stretch values approved by the supervisor responsible for the installation. 9.3.1 Tightening of 2” nuts Turn the cylindrical nut using the spanner ring and pin wrench until it bottoms on the flange. Then apply torque to turn the nut an additional 10 degrees. This will aid in achieving the desired stretch. 10.0 Thread Locking Once pulling and tensioning is completed all stud nuts must be locked in position. Two methods of thread locking may be encountered in the field. Early version hardware required a liquid thread locking compound while the later configuration employs a mechanical locking device. Each method is described in detail in Sections 10.1 & 10.2. 10.1 Thread Locking Using a Liquid Locking Compound These nuts have no visible locking feature. Contact Riverhawk Company if you have any of these older style nuts. Riverhawk Company strongly recommends replacing this style of nut with the current nut with a re‐useable mechanical locking feature. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 29 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 10.2 Thread Locking Using a Mechanical Locking Device Set Screws 1 of 2 Spanner Ring Holes 1 of 2 Picture 10A ‐ Riverhawk Locknut Mechanical lock nuts have two set screws located in the top face, see picture. Before threading the nut onto the stud check to be certain the set screws are free to turn. Once the nut is seated torque the set screws to the values specified in the following table. When seated and torqued to the values specified the load created by the set screw displaces the thread of the nut in the area of the web creating the desired locking action. Stud Size Set Screw Size Torque 2" [51 mm] 1/4"‐28 UN 65 in∙lbs ‐ 75 in∙lbs [7.3 N∙m – 8.3 N∙m] 11.0 Stud and Nut Removal Sections 11.1 and 11.2 respectively describe the procedures to be followed in removing nuts that have been locked with liquid locking compound and those with the mechanical locking feature. 11.1 Removal of Assemblies with Liquid Locking Compound For those assemblies which have been locked with the liquid locking compound, removal is accomplished as follows: Using a wire brush and shop air clean the internal tapered thread of the stud to remove any debris/deposits that may have accumulated during service. (See section 5.2.2) 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 30 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Install the appropriate puller tool to the stud as described in Section. 8.0. Apply hydraulic pressure per the following table and without using unreasonable force attempt to loosen the nut using the spanner ring and spanner wrench. Flange Position Stud Size Final Pressure Turbine to Coupling 2” [51 mm] 19000 psi [1310 bar] Coupling to Generator 2” [51 mm] 16000 psi [1100 bar] Steam Turbine to Generator 2” [51 mm] 16000 psi [1100 bar] If the nut cannot be loosened, release the pressure and repeat the procedure. Ordinarily two or three attempts are sufficient to break the bond. Should the nut refuse to loosen after three attempts the application of heat will be required. CAUTION Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tensioner. Excessive pressure can damage the stud and puller screw. WARNING: FIRE HAZARD; DO NOT heat when the tensioner is in place. Personal injury or equipment damage may occur. Use of an Oxy‐Acetylene torch is not recommended Apply a smear of 550/650‐deg F tempil stick to the side of the nut opposite the application of heat and heat the nut using a propane torch. Continue to apply heat until the tempil smear indicates that the nut has reached 550/650 deg F. Never overheat to a cherry red condition. Remove the source of heat and as quickly as possible reinstall the appropriate puller tool, apply the appropriate pressure per the following table and loosen the nut. Then release the pressure and remove the puller tool. 11.2 Removal of Assemblies with Mechanical Locknuts For those assemblies which have been locked using mechanical lock nuts, removal is accomplished as follows: 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 31 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 1. Using a wire brush, GT‐4354, and shop air clean the internal tapered thread of the stud to remove any debris/deposits which may have accumulated during service. (see section 5.2.2) With an Allen‐wrench loosen the two locking set screws but do not remove from nut. Picture 11A ‐ Loosening of a nut's set screws 2. Install the appropriate puller tool to the stud as described in Section 8.0. 3. Apply the appropriate hydraulic pressure per the table of Section 11.1 and using the spanner ring and spanner wrenches loosen the nut, then release the pressure and remove the puller tool. 12.0 Storage Instructions Follow these directions to properly store your hydraulic tensioner and hydraulic pump kit for long term storage and shipment.

If the steps listed here do not solve your problem, contact the Riverhawk Company thru our website, email, or phone call. Q: Can I rent a hydraulic tensioner kit? A: Yes, Riverhawk has rental tensioner kits available for most of our hydraulic tensioners. Q: A tensioner has pulled itself out of the stud's conical threads. Can I continue using a tensioner on this stud? A: No. Both the tensioner and the stud may have been damaged and must be removed from the work area. If the stud is tensioned, a Nut Buster repair kit, from Riverhawk, must be used to remove the damaged stud by drilling out the nut. Leaving a damaged stud in place will lead to a safety hazard on future outages. Riverhawk can supply a replacement stud and nut based on the initial weight certification supplied with the hardware set (see section 4.2). The damaged tensioner should also be returned to Riverhawk for inspection and repair. 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 33 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 If a stud must be left in place, paint the damaged stud with a generous amount of indelible, bright‐colored paint. Notify the appropriate GE Safety and Service personnel. Note the location of the damaged stud in the services notes for the machine. Q: The hydraulic tensioner has been taken up to its final pressure. The final stretch length is short of the final stretch target. What is the next step? A: Do not increase the hydraulic pressure. Check if the hydraulic pump is set to the right pressure. Install the tensioner and re‐pressurize the tensioner to the final pressure then recheck the stretch measurement. If the stretch value is still short, remove the stud from the hole and re‐measure the stud's initial length then try to install the stud again. Q: The hydraulic tensioner has been taken up to its final pressure. The final stretch length is larger than the final stretch target. What is the next step? A: Remove the stud from the bolt hole. Check if the hydraulic pump is set to the right pressure. Re‐measure the stud's initial length then try to install the stud again. Q: Is there an easier way to support or move the tensioner around the coupling shaft? A: Use two straps. One around the coupling shaft and the other attach to an overhead support. Straps must be slack while installing the tensioner on a stud and while tensioning. Q: The tensioner is at its final pressure, but the nut cannot be loosened. A: If the nuts cannot be loosened at the final pressure, continually increasing the pressure will not help and can be dangerous and in some cases make it harder to remove the nut. Check the nut to see if its set screws have been loosened. Check for and remove any corrosion around the nut's threads. Q: How do I clean the conical threads on a stud? A: The conical threads are best cleaned using a spiral wound brass brush in a drill as described in section 5.2.2 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 34 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Q: During the initial steps of removing a tensioned stud, the stick‐out length is found to be wrong. A: Do not proceed. Contact Riverhawk for assistance. With the wrong stick‐out length, the hydraulic tensioner has a limited stroke and may not work properly and can be damaged. Q: The hydraulic pump appears to be leaking. A: Check the hose connection to the hydraulic pump. If the 1/4" high pressure fitting is not assembled correctly as shown in section 7.2, it may look like the pump is leaking. If the problem continues, it may be necessary to return the pump kit to the Riverhawk factory. Contact Riverhawk for guidance. Q: The hydraulic hose has a collar on it that can't be moved by hand A: The hydraulic fitting is shown in section 7.2. The collar is sometimes held in place with a thread locking compound. This prevents the collar from moving too easily. It may be necessary to adjust this collar with a set of vise‐grip pliers. Be careful to not strip the threads off the tube or hose end. Q: Can I rent a hydraulic tensioner kit? A: Yes, Riverhawk has rental tensioner kits available for most of our hydraulic tensioners. 14.0 Revision History Revision Letter Effective Date AC Jul 8, 2016 AB Sep 28, 2015 Description Revised sections 8.0 and 8.1, Switched figures 8A and 8B, Inserted section 2.4, Inserted figure 6C, Updated figure 8B 215 Clinton Road New Hartford, NY 13413 Tel: +1 315 768 4855 Fax: +1 315 768 4941 Email: info@riverhawk.com GE DRAWING NUMBER REV 373A4001 AC Page 35 of 40 Instruction Manual IM‐110 Revision Letter Effective Date Description AA May 28, 2015 Updated section 4.2, Added RPO31763, renumbered appendices Z Jan 16, 2015 Updated sections 1.0, 4.3 and Appendix A3.
