INSPECT
Inspect the gland for damage to the threads and
the seal surfaces. Replace the gland if damaged.
Inspect the piston for any damage to the seal surfa-
ces and replace if damaged.
Inspect the rod for damage to the rod surface and
ensure that the rod is not bent. Replace the rod if
found to be damaged.
Inspect the inner surface of the cylinder tube for
damage. If the tube is found to be damaged, replace
the cylinder.
Inspect the bushings for damage. If damaged, re-
place bushings.
CLEAN
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic and
can cause skin irritation. When using cleaning
solvents, always follow the solvent manufactur-
er's recommended safety procedures.
Compressed air can move particles so they cause
injury to the user or to other personnel. Make sure
the path of the compressed air is away from all
personnel. Wear protective goggles or a face
shield to prevent injury to the eyes.
CAUTION
DO NOT allow cleaning solvent to come in contact
with rubber components, as it will damage those
components.
Clean all metal parts in solvent and dry with com-
pressed air.
ASSEMBLE
NOTE:
To prevent damage to sealing surfaces, use
brass tools when installing seals and O-rings.
1.
Install a new piston seal and O-ring on the pis-
ton. See Figure 3.
NOTE:
Perform Step 2 only if the piston was re-
moved from the rod.
2.
Place the rod in a soft-jaw vise and lube the
threads of the nut with hydraulic oil. Install the
piston on the rod and tighten the nut to:
