REMOVAL, DISASSEMBLY, AND REPAIR
1) Cleanliness is very important: dirt is the number one cause of wear in bearings, bushings and
especially in hydraulic components.
2) Inspect hydraulic components for leaks before cleaning. The dirt buildup on the component
can aid in tracing uid leaks.
3) Clean hydraulic connections before removal to prevent dirt from entering the component.
4) Loosen hydraulic ttings slowly to release pressure.
5) Cap hydraulic ttings immediately after removal to prevent dirt from entering the component
or line and to prevent uid from leaking.
6) Clean the component in non- ammable solvent before disassembly.
7) Inspect the component after cleaning for signs of wear or external damage.
8) When disassembling a component, note the position of each part as it is removed to aid in
reassembly.
9) During disassembly note the condition of each part as it is removed to aid in diagnosing
problems and to prevent them in the future.
10) Clean and inspect disassembled parts for wear, cracks, dirt, etc.
11) After cleaning and inspecting, reusable hydraulic parts should be immediately coated with
clean fresh hydraulic uid to prevent rust formation. If these parts are not going to be
reinstalled immediately, they should be wrapped in a clean, lint free cloth or paper to prevent
nicks or scratches.
12) When replacing a cylinder, or resealing a valve, replace all seals and o-rings that are disturbed
during the repair. The price of a few seals is very little compared to a return repair job.
