Removal of grease:
Be careful when you use solvents or other liquids to clean the components. These liquids
can be dangerous and release flammable fumes. Always obey these precautions:
- Make sure that there is sufficient airflow in the work area during and after the
procedure.
- Do not get liquids on your skin.
- Always close solvent containers when you do not use them.
Before you remove the paint from the parts: Remove all fittings, O-rings, nuts, bolts,
washers, pistons, bearing cups and other items to prevent damage.
To remove the grease from the metal parts:
1 To clean all metal parts, put them fully in a clean degreasing solution. We
recommend that you use an alkaline-based solution for aluminum parts.
2 Remove hard dirt or grease with a soft bristle brush or soak the part in a cleaning
solution.
3 Clean bearing cones carefully in a different container with clean solvent.
Do not use compressed air to dry the bearing cones. If they turn too quickly, damage can
occur.
4 When the cleaning procedure is completed, fully dry all metal parts with filtered dry
compressed air.
5 We recommend that you replace the O-rings at each overhaul. If necessary, you can
use the O-rings again. Make sure that you put them back into their initial position of
removal.
6 Clean O-rings, backup rings, wipers, or other rubber parts with a clean dry cloth.
Before you install these parts, lubricate them with an applicable O-ring lubricant.
