Replacing a cylinder CF500 SL-2 / CF500 SL-C

/ NL 12 van 16
The rod of the cylinder will have to come in the correct position. That means that the tread of the piston rod is
more or less in the middle of the fixed clamping plate of moving cross member. Also, the welding of the sleeve
must be horizontal (fig. 27). With a pipe wrench the piston rod can be turned so you can move the piston rod
with the help of the thread.
Put the pipe wrench not on the piston rod itself, but on the sleeve or the strengthened tube fitted around the
piston rod (fig. 28). If the thread is in the right place you can move the sleeve back and forward so the thread
falls into the thread of the fixed clamping plates in the right order (fig. 28). The securing is done later.
Now the surfaces of the cylinders to which the common rail is mounted need to be aligned. You can use the
common rail itself. When the surfaces are not aligned, the cylinder can be rotated with the help of wrench 24
mm. on the plug of the valve until the cylinder is aligned (fig. 29).
The clamping plates of the cylinder(s) can now be fixed with a air tacker and afterwards the bolts must be
tightened with a torque wrench at150 Nm. With a hammer turn over the tob washer with long tab of the rear
clamping plate before mounting the common rail, this can not be done anymore when the common rail has been
mounted. (fig. 30).
