MAINTENANCE (continued)
General Precautions
During disassembly and assembly, take the following precautions
to avoid damaging tool or components:
(A) A clean, well-lighted area should be available for servicing
the tool. Special care must be taken to prevent contamination
of hydraulic systems.
(B) Use soft materials, such as brass, aluminum or wood, to protect
the tool when applying pressure. Only standard hand tools are
required. Brass drifts, wood blocks, a vise with soft jaws and an
arbor press will prevent damaging tool. Standard tools available
Huck are listed in this manual.
(C) Apply continuous strong pressure, rather than sharp blows, to
disassemble or assemble a component. An arbor press provides
steady pressure to press a component in or out of an assembly.
(D) Never continue to force a component if it “hangs-up” due
to misalignment. Reverse the procedure to correct misalignment
and start over.
(E) Smear SUPER O-LUBE*, or equivalent lubricant,
on seals and mating surfaces to facilitate assembly and
to prevent damage to seals (SUPER O-LUBE is available,
in a tube as Part Number 505476, from Huck.)

(F) Rub SLIC-TITE TEFLON* thread compound, or equivalent,
on pipe threads, to aid assembly and sealing. CAUTION: DO
NOT USE TEFLON TAPE ON PIPE THREADS - -
shredded particles cause valves to malfunction. (TEFLON
compound is available from Huck in stick form as P/N 503237.)
TEFLON is a trademark of E.l. DuPont de Nemours & Co.
(G) All parts must be handled carefully and examined for damage
or wear. Always replace seals, wipers and back-up rings
when tool is disassembled for any reason. Components should
be disassembled and assembled in a straight line without bending,
cocking, or undue force. Disassembly and assembly procedures
outlined in this manual should be followed.
