• Place the piston flat on the front side of the cylinder barrel and insert the lip
ring of the piston into the cylinder barrel by tilting and turning it slightly.
The sealing lip must not fold back against the inside of the piston.
Note
If necessary use a flat and blunt-edged object to insert the lip ring into the
cylinder barrel.
• Insert the piston fully into the cylinder barrel.
• Push the piston far enough into the cylinder barrel so that the first lip ring
protrudes slightly at the other end of the cylinder barrel.
• Pull the piston rod back again until the piston is sitting fully in the cylinder
barrel.
Note
This approach ensures that the sealing lips of the two lip rings sit correctly in
the cylinder barrel.
