soak in a vessel with solvent and to clean it then with a stiff brush. In doing so, take care to
see that only the compressor wheel is immersed and that the turbocharger is supported on
the bearing casing and not on the wheel.
5.7.2. Special hints
It is recommended that the radial and axial
clearances of the rotor be checked after
every 3,000 hours operation.
This precaution will enable any wear of the
Measuring of axial clearance bearings to be
detected in good time before serious
damage is caused to the rotor and bearings.
