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. Place the cylinder barrel into a suitable holding fix-

ture.

4. Using a spanner wrench, unscrew the cylinder head

from the barrel.

5. 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.

7. With the barrel clamped securely, carefully withdraw

the complete rod assembly from the cylinder barrel.

8. Using suitable protection, clamp the cylinder rod in

a vise or holding fixture as close to the piston as
possible.

9. Remove and discard the piston wear ring and t-seal.

10. Remove the rod from the holding fixture. Remove

the cylinder head gland and discard all seals on the
cylinder head.

or other damage. If necessary, dress rod with
Scotch Brite or equivalent. Replace rod if necessary.

3. Inspect inner surface of cylinder barrel tube for scor-

ing or other damage. Check inside diameter for
tapering or ovality. Replace if necessary.
