6.3.5 PUTTING THE PISTON INTO THE CYLINDER
Never attempt to put the piston into the cylinder without using the special piston
insertion tool and the procedure described in this section. Doing otherwise can result in
the piston cocking in the cylinder and damage to both parts.
When the piston has been removed from the cylinder, it must be put back into the cylinder
before the piston-cylinder can be reinstalled in the FPG8601 Platform.
Figure 49. Alignment of the FPG8601 piston in the cylinder
The piston must be installed in the cylinder with the correct end at the top and the
correct rotational orientation. Installing the piston incorrectly in the cylinder may result
in poor FPG8601 performance and/or out of tolerance measurements.
Place the cylinder in the FPG8601
piston insertion tool cup so that the
serial number etched on the outside
of the cylinder is towards the top and
right side up.
Slide the cup and cylinder all the way
down the insertion tool spindle.
