Repair steps
4.1
Preparation
•
Before starting the repair, remove any attachments (clamping device, end-position locking, etc.) in accordance with
the accompanying operating instructions.
•
Keep your working environment tidy.
•
Only use the spare parts and assembly aids (grease, locking agent, etc.) provided in the set of wearing parts.
Warning
Make sure that the bearing cap cannot suddenly come flying off.
•
Remove the non-return valves and tubing connection from the cylinder and depressurise the cylinder completely
so that any pressure present is not suddenly released when the cylinder is opened.
To prevent damage to sealing rims or guide surfaces, do not use pointed or sharp-edged assembly aids.
4.2
Visual inspection
Check the cylinder for visible damage that might impair its function (e.g. warping of the piston rod) as well as deposits
and scoring. The entire cylinder must be replaced if the cylinder barrel is showing signs of significant damage.
