Reassembling the intensifier
The area around the intensifier must be free of surface
or airborne grit. Clean hands, tools, shop coat, solvent,
and work surface all contribute to reduced downtime
and lower maintenance costs.
Note:
Remember that when instructed to clean parts,
it is necessary to first wipe all components with a rag to
remove most of the Blue Lubricant (A-2185) and de-
bris. Next, clean all components in an approved solvent
and let them air dry.
18. Lubricate the inner surface of each cylinder end with
white food grade o-ring lube (A-4689).
19. Apply a thin, even layer of Blue Lubricant to the
threads on the cylinder and thread the sleeve guide
onto the non-recessed end of the cylinder.
Note:
Threads and Blue Lubricant must not be con-
taminated with foreign material. If a brush is used to
lubricate the threads, it must also be kept dirt-free.
20. Wipe the inner surface of the seal installation sleeve
with white food grade o-ring lube and place it into
the sleeve guide, small ID first. (The bore is tapered
to compress the seal components during
insertion.)
21. Lubricate the seal o-ring with white food grade
o-ring lube and place it in the groove on the seal.
Set the metal hoop aside.
22. Lubricate the high-pressure seal and the o-ring with
white food grade o-ring lube and then place the seal
(o-ring end first) into the sleeve.
Note:
Installing the metal hoop through the sleeve
may reduce the hoop diameter. Reassembly is more
difficult if the hoop will not remain seated in the
cylinder.
23. Insert the non-shouldered
end of the tool into the
sleeve and press the seal
into the high-pressure
cylinder.
A slow, even movement
will help keep the o-ring
from rolling.
Remove the tool, sleeve,
and sleeve guide from the
cylinder.
