Turn the motor hard over
to port. That will retract the
Cylinder rod into the Cylinder.
See Figure 13. Check that the
Cylinder rod is still free to
retract at least a little more.
Next turn the motor hard
over to starboard. That will
extend the Cylinder rod out
of the Cylinder. See Figure
14. Check that the Cylinder
rod is still free to extend at
least a little more. It should
have additional travel in both
directions. If it does not, adjust
the position of the Rod Eye block
(item 31
) on the end of the Cylinder shaft. The Cylinder shaft should turn
with your fingers if the Hex Jam Nut (
item 33
) is loose. (
If the shaft does not turn freely enough, use a thin 1/4
Inch open end wrench at the shaft’s wrench flats and loosen the hex jam nut.
)
Do not use any tool on the cylindrical part of the Cylinder shaft.
If the shaft gets scratched, bent, or dinged
the seal will fail.
With the cylinder properly adjusted, secure it by
tightening the Hex Jam Nut against the Rod Eye after
putting a little thread lock between them
. It is ready for plumbing the hydraulic hoses. We suggest you put
the original parts to the motor in a container and, carefully, store them.
