2.3 HOWTO USETHEPARTSMANUAL
ITEMNUMBER
Each part which is identified in the illustrations has an item number. Parts which do not have an item number may not
be readily identified in the illustration but are usually closely associated with the immediately adjacent part.
ASSEMBLIES
A complete assembly, e.g. a wheel motor or hydraulic motor or roll assembly, is listed as a complete item with
subsequent individual components listed separately.
The assembly is listed under it's part number with component parts being listed offset to the right, e.g:-
ITEM RANSOMES DESCRIPTION QTY REMARKS
PART NO.
1 LMSD798 Roll Assy. 1 ALL MACHINES
2 MBB4490 • Tube 1
3 LMSD926 • End Cap Assy. 2
4 MBB6851 • • End Cap 1
5 H009116 • • Bearing 1
6 MBB2356 • Seal Housing 1
7 A224016 • Seal 2
* A122192 Screw 2
It may not be possible to illustrate every item. With certain items purchased from outside suppliers some component
parts may not be available from Ransomes and may need to be specially ordered from the supplier e.g. Volvo hydraulic
motor components.
QUANTITIES
Quantities shown are for one assembly or sub-assembly.
USING THE PARTS LIST
Determine the function and application of the part required. Turn to the main index page and select the appropriate
section. Locate the part on the illustration and parts list and read off the quantity from the appropriate MODEL column.
NUMERICAL INDEX
This is a summary of all part numbers used in the manual arranged in numerical sequence and showing the page and
item number under which the parts appear.
ORDERING OF SPARE PARTS
When ordering replacement parts, it is most important to quote the SERIAL NUMBER of the machine, PART NUMBER,
DESCRIPTION and QUANTITY required.
Anyarbitrary modificationscarried out onthis machinemay relieve themanufacturer ofliability for any resulting
damageorinjury.
