Precautions to Observe During Maintenance and
Repair
Use the following precautions during maintenance and
repair:
• Make sure the fittings and o-rings being used are the
proper size and style.
• Flush the sealing surfaces with clean hydraulic oil to
remove any dirt.
• Carefully inspect the threads and sealing surfaces for
nicks, gouges, and other damage. Do not use damaged
parts. They will leak.
• Carefully inspect the o-rings for cuts and other damage.
Do not use damaged o-rings: they will leak.
• Always lubricate the o-rings when assembling onto
fittings.
• Be careful not to cut the o-rings when assembling them
to fittings. Use a thimble as shown in Figure 2-6
when
assembling o-ring over threads.
Pipe Thread Connection
1. Apply sealant (Loctite 92 or equivalent) to the male
threads, never to the female threads. Do not apply
sealant to the first two male threads.
2. Tighten fittings about 4-1/2 turns by hand and then 3
additional turns with a wrench.
