General Precautions
During disassembly and assembly, take the following
precautions to avoid damaging tool or components:
(A) A clean, well-lighted area should be available for
servicing the tool. Special care must be given to
prevent contamination of hydraulic systems.
(B) Use soft materials, such as brass, aluminum
or wood, to protect the tool when applying
pressure. Only standard hand tools are
required. Brass drifts, wood blocks, a vise
with soft jaws and an arbor press will pre
vent damaging tool. Standard tools available
Huck are listed in this manual.
(C) Apply continuous strong pressure, rather
than sharp blows, to disassemble or assem
ble a component. An arbor press provides
steady pressure to press a component in or
out of an assembly.
(D) Never continue to force a component if it
“hangs-up” due to misalignment. Reverse
the procedure to correct misalignment
and start over.
(E) Smear SUPER O-LUBE*, or equivalent lubri-
cant, on seals and mating surfaces to facili-
tate assembly and to prevent damage to seals
(SUPER O-LUBE is available, in a tube as Part
Number 505476, from Huck.) *SUPER O-LUBE is
a trademark of Parker Seal
(F) Rub SLIC-TITE TEFLON* thread compound,
or equivalent, on pipe threads, to aid assem
bly and sealing.
(G) All parts must be handled carefluly and
examined for damage or wear. Always replace
seals, wipers and back-up rings when tool is dis-
assembled for any reason. Components should
be disassembled and assembled in a straight line
without bending, cocking, or undue force.
Disassembly and assembly procedures outlined
in this manual should be followed.
