DISASSEMBLY
DISASSEMBLY OF THE CYLINDER SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON A
CLEAN WORK SURFACE IN A DIRT FREE WORK AREA.
1. Connect a suitable auxiliary hydraulic power source
to the cylinder port block fitting.
DO NOT FULLY EXTEND CYLINDER TO THE END OF STROKE.
RETRACT CYLINDER SLIGHTLY TO AVOID TRAPPING PRESSURE.
2. Operate the hydraulic power source and extend the
cylinder. Shut down and disconnect the power
source. Adequately support the cylinder rod, if appli-
cable.
3. Remove the cylinder length sensor from the cylinder.
See Section 5.3, Cylinder Length Sensor.
4. Remove the counterbalance valves from the cylinder
port block. Discard o-rings.
5. Place the cylinder barrel into a suitable holding fix-
ture.
6. Remove the self-tapping screw from cylinder barrel.
7. Using a spanner wrench, unscrew the cylinder head
from the barrel.
8. Attach a suitable pulling device to the cylinder rod
end.
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN REMOVING THE CYL-
INDER ROD, HEAD, AND PISTON. AVOID PULLING THE ROD OFF-
CENTER, WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON AND
CYLINDER BARREL SURFACES.
9. With the barrel clamped securely, carefully withdraw
the complete rod assembly from the cylinder barrel.
