Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 073432 Crown gasket and what does it seal?
A: The CR 073432 is a flat, die-cut compressed fiber gasket engineered for Crown PE 4000 and PE 4500 series electric pallet trucks. It seals the drive motor mounting interface on the drive unit, preventing dust and moisture from entering the motor assembly. The gasket is designed for static, non-pressurized sealing and is made from compressed synthetic fiber compound.
Q: What material is the CR 073432 gasket made from?
A: The CR 073432 is manufactured from compressed synthetic fiber compound, a standard material for static sealing applications in electric pallet trucks. This material is resistant to moisture, dust, and minor mechanical stress but is not designed for high-pressure applications. It is suitable only for non-pressurized drive unit sealing.
Q: How often should CR 073432 gaskets be replaced?
A: The CR 073432 is a consumable wear item. In normal warehouse use, compressed fiber gaskets last 2 to 4 years before becoming brittle or losing compression. If you observe water, dirt, or debris around the drive motor mounting area, or if the motor shows corrosion, the gasket has likely failed and should be replaced.
Q: Will the CR 073432 fit PE 4500 models if it is rated for PE 4000?
A: Yes. The CR 073432 is compatible with both Crown PE 4000 and PE 4500 series electric pallet trucks. The drive unit motor mounting interface is the same across these model ranges, so the gasket fits both. Verify your equipment model and confirm the gasket dimensions match your motor mounting before ordering.
Q: Can I reuse the old CR 073432 gasket after removing it?
A: No. Compressed fiber gaskets are not reusable. Once removed, the material loses its compression and sealing properties and will not prevent moisture or dust from entering the motor assembly. Always install a new CR 073432 gasket to maintain proper seal integrity and protect the drive motor from corrosion.
