excessive wear. If damaged, they should

(see Table B).
Cylinder Assembly:
A) Piston and Inner Band Assembly.
1)
Insert the plastic strap supplied in the
repair kit into one end of the piston assembly
(Photo #2).
2)
Carefully insert the inner band, bev-
elled side down, into the piston at the end
opposite the plastic strap
(Photo #3 & #4).

5)
After the piston/band sub-assembly
is completely inserted into the body, posi-
tion the band so that an equal length of
band protrudes from each end of the tube
(Photo #8). Again, verify that both ends of
the inner band are centered under the
groove.
B) End Cap Re-assembly
1)
Ensure transfer O-Rings (sym. #14)
are in place.
2)
Make sure the band is still positioned
along the center of the tube slot; then
install the end cap onto the cylinder body.
The end caps must be oriented as they
were in the original assembly. The cutout
for the band should be properly oriented
(in line with the band). Use a gentle but
firm pushing motion, NOT a twisting
motion to insert the cap into the tube
(Photo #9).
