or equivalent. Replace rod if necessary.
3. Inspect threaded portion of rod for excessive damage.
Dress threads as necessary.
4. Inspect inner surface of cylinder barrel tube for scoring
or other damage. Check inside diameter for tapering or
ovality. Replace if necessary.
5. Inspect threaded portion of barrel for damage. Dress
threads as necessary.
6. Inspect piston surface for damage and scoring and for
distortion. Dress piston surface or replace piston as nec-
essary.
7. Inspect threaded portion of piston for damage. Dress
threads as necessary.
8. Inspect seal and o-ring grooves in piston for burrs and
