L
THE HYDRAULIC
DAMPERS
Indication of their
resistance
can
be
obtained by
carrying
out
the
following check:
Bolt
the
damper,
in
an
upright
position,
to
a
plate
held
in
a
vice.
Move
the lever
arm up
and down through
its
complete
stroke.
A
moderate
resistance
throughout
the full
stroke
should be felt. If
the
resistance is erratic,
and free
movement
in
the
lever
arm
is
noted,
it
may
indicate lack of
■uid.
While adding fluid
the lever
arm
must
be
worked
throughout
its
full stroke
to
expel
any
air
that
may
be
present
in
the
operating
chamber.
If the addition of fluid
gives
no
improvement
a new
damper
should be ■tted.
Too
much
resistance, i.e.
when
it is
not
possible
to
move
LA
the
lever
arm
by hand,
indicates
a
broken
internal
part
or
a
seized
piston.
The
arms
should
not
be
removed from
the dampers
at
any
time
as
it is
essential that
they
should be
assembled
to
the
damper shaft
in
the
right relation
to
the damper
cam
lever
so
that there
is
the
full
range
of
movement
on
either
side of
the
centre-line.
It
must
be
clearly
understood
that there
is
no
provision
for
adjusting the
setting
of the dampers,
and if they
are
in
any
way
defective
they
must
be
returned
to
the
manufacturers
for
attention.
Leakage from
the damper
lid
may
be
recti■ed by ■tting
a
new
lid
gasket and
fully
tightening
the
screws.
[A
weep
from the
valve
screw
may
be
stopped by
gently
tightening
the
screw.
