Slide the gland nut down over the collar. (See
Illustration 6) Insert the 3/8” tube or 3/8” hose
end into tensioner or hydraulic pump. While firmly
holding the tube or hose end to stop it from
rotating, turn the gland nut clockwise (
right hand
thread) and torque the gland nut to 50 FT‐LBS (68
N‐m).
Tips:
Make sure all parts are clean and free from
debris.
Protect the cone on the end of the 3/8” tube
or 3/8” hose end from scratches as this is the
sealing surface.
Replace red plastic caps when finished to
protect the threads and cone.
4.3 Check Hydraulic Port in the Pump and Tensioner
Before connecting the hydraulic hose to the pump or tensioner, check the hydraulic port for
grit, dirt, and other debris. Clean with a brush and, if necessary, with a volatile solvent such as
acetone. Do not force the debris deeper into the port.
4.4 Check Hydraulic Tensioner
Refer to the hydraulic tensioner instruction manual for inspection procedure.
