Clean and Inspect

NOTE

: Use the appropriate repair kit for replacement parts. 

Make sure all the components are included in the kit and in good 
condition before discarding used parts.

Clean all metal parts in cleaning solvent. The solvent should be  
environmentally safe.

Inspect all parts for wear and/or damage.                                                    
•     Replace as necessary.

Inspect Piston

wire draw marks.                                                                                                   
•    Replace as necessary.

Closely inspect the mating surfaces of all components for any im-
perfections. Ensure a smooth and clean contact is obtained when 
assembled.

EXAMPLE

: Place Ball

 (23) 

into Piston

 (25)
