For single-acting (lift) rams:
Slide the gland nut over the split
bearing end of the rod to prevent
damaging the seals.
For double-acting (angle)
rams:
Slide the gland nut over
the threaded end of the rod to
prevent damaging the seals.

For double-acting (angle) rams
only:
Install the piston in the
orientation shown. Tighten piston
locknut to 100–120 ft-lb.
5. Carefully reassemble the ram.
6. Insert a 0.012" feeler gauge
between the front surface of the
cylinder tube face and the hex of
the gland nut. Tighten the gland
nut until it is snug against the
feeler gauge.

tighten the gland nut an
additional
1/4 turn.
