CYLINDER SEAL REPLACE
2. Slide the gland onto the cylinder
rod being careful not to damage the
rod wiper. Then install the spacer, or
flat washer (if so equipped), small O-
ring, piston, and hex nut onto the end
of the cylinder rod.
INPORTANT: Ensure that the piston
ring fits squarely into the cylinder tube
and piston groove, otherwise the ring
may be damaged and a leak will occur.
4. Apply a lubricant (such as Lu-
briplate #105) to the piston and teflon
ring. Insert the cylinder rod assembly
into the cylinder tube.
IMPORTANT: Do not contact the
active surface of the cylinder rod with
the vise. Damage to the rod could
result.
5. Use a spanner wrench to rotate
the gland clockwise into the cylinder.
Continue to rotate the gland with the
spanner wrench until it is tight.
NOTE: Seal kits will service all back-
hoe cylinders of similar bore size and
rod diameter.
WARNING! Cylinders serviced in the
field are to be tested for
leakage prior to the hoe
being placed in work.
Failure to test rebuilt cyl-
inders could result in
damage to the cylinder
and/or backhoe, cause
severe personal injury, or
even death.

3. Secure the cylinder rod (mount-
ing end) in a vise, with a support at it's
center. Torque the nut to the amount
shown for the thread diameter of the
cylinder rod ( see chart ).
