3.6 Installing the Seal Housing
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.
Lubricate the seal housing running surface on the Air Locker carrier
with oil.
Carefully install the seal housing by sliding it all of the way onto the
bearing journal with a gentle twisting motion until it sits flat against
the adjuster nut.
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.
Rotate the seal housing until the square cutout lines up with the
locking tab position at the center of the bearing cap, and then
assemble the locking tab. (Fig.9.)
