DISASSEMBLY
DISASSEMBLY OF THE CYLINDER SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON A CLEAN WORK
SURFACE IN A DIRT FREE WORK AREA.
1. Connect a suitable auxiliary hydraulic power source to
the cylinder port block fitting.
DO NOT FULLY EXTEND CYLINDER TO THE END OF STROKE. RETRACT CYLINDER
SLIGHTLY TO AVOID TRAPPING PRESSURE.
2. Operate the hydraulic power source and extend the cyl-
inder. Shut down and disconnect the power source.
Adequately support the cylinder rod, if applicable.
3. Place the cylinder barrel into a suitable holding fixture.
4. Using a pin-face spanner wrench, unscrew the cylinder
head from the barrel.
5. Attach a suitable pulling device to the cylinder rod end.
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN REMOVING THE C YLINDER ROD,
HEAD, AND PISTON. AVOID PULLING THE ROD OFF-CENTER, WHICH COULD
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON AND CYLINDER BARREL SURFACES.
6. With the barrel clamped securely, apply pressure to the
rod pulling device and carefully withdraw the complete
rod assembly from the cylinder barrel.
