Dismantling
The numerical sequence shown in the illustration is a guide
to the dismantling procedure.
Note: It may be necessary to apply air or hydraulic pressure
to the head side of the ram in order to extract the piston rod
assembly from the cylinder.
! WARNING
If air or hydraulic pressure is used to force out the
piston assembly, ensure that the end cap is securely
fitted. Severe injury can be caused by a suddenly
released piston rod.
