3.2 Assembling the Seal Housing
c Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean
and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).
c Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or
other conditions which might cause leaks.
c 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.
c Lubricate the seal housing running surface on the Air Locker carrier
with oil.
c Orientate the seal housing (as shown in Figure 3.) with the seal
housing flange closest to the Air Locker.
c Carefully install the seal housing by sliding it all of the way onto the
seal housing running surface with a gentle twisting motion.
NOTE : A twisting motion (i.e., a slight rotation while pressing
the seal housing on) will allow the O-rings to engage
gently and prevent them from twisting. Twisted
O-rings will result in pre-mature O-ring wear and oil
contamination in the air system due to the helical
shape formed by the O-ring mould line.
