Assembling the Seal Housing

Figure 6.



















!

Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean

and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).

!

Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or

other conditions which might cause leaks.

!

Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then

insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.

NOTE : When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave

them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could
cause excessive wear and leakage.
