3. For Series PXD-16 and PXD-32 presses the Spacer Roll Pin into the Right Side Plate with one end of the Pin flush with the outer face
of the Side Plate. Insert the tab of the Upper Spacer into the slot in the Middle Spacer, and after aligning the holes in both pieces,
install them on the Spacer Roll Pin. When they are correctly positioned, apply a non-permanent thread-locking compound to the
threads of the two Upper Spacer Screws and tighten the Spacers with the Screws through the side plate.
4. Insert the two Lower Spacer Pins into the holes in the lower edge of the Right Side Plate. Apply a nonpermanent thread-locking
compound to the threads of the Lower Spacer Screws and tighten the Pins with the Screws through the Side Plate.
5. Place the Lower Spacer over the Pins against the Side Plate. Assure it is correctly oriented so that no part of the Spacer extends
beyond the edge of the Side Plate.
6. Insert the Drive Pin into the small cross-hole and slot in the Drive Plate. Turn the Plate which helps the ends of the Pin to enter
the slot and move the Pin to the narrow end.
7. Position the Drive Pin Spring in the drive plate slot with the two non-connected ends between the Drive Pin and the large hole in
the slot. Position the closed end of the spring on the opposite side of the Pin and then apply pressure on the spring to align the
hole through it with the hole in the Drive Plate for the Drive Pin Spring Roll Pin. Insert the Spring Roll Pin into the Drive Plate,
through the spring and into the far wall of the Drive Plate.
In the following step, when the Ratchet is removed from the Drive Plate, the Drive Segment and Segment Spring will be
free to fall from the Drive Plate recess. Prevent falling of the Drive Segment on a hard surface that might chip the teeth.
8. Apply a thin film of Synthetic Grease onto the inner race of the large opening in the Drive Plate.
9. Position the Ratchet in the central opening of the Drive Plate.
10. Insert the Drive Segment into the opening adjacent to the Ratchet.
Make certain the teeth of the Ratchet correctly engage the teeth of the Drive Segment. Reverse the Ratchet if they do
not properly engage.
11. Move the Drive Segment sideways to expose the spring hole. Insert the Segment Spring into the hole. While compressing the spring,
move the Drive Segment inward until the Drive Plate captures the Segment Spring.
12. Apply a light coat of Synthetic Grease to both sides of the Drive Plate and Drive Segment and to the inner races of both Side Plate
Sleeves.
13. While keeping the assembly together, insert the hub of the Ratchet into the Side Plate Sleeve of the assembled Side Plate.
14. Place the Left Side Plate Sleeve on the hub of the Ratchet and align the screw holes for the Spacers.
15. After applying a non-permanent thread-locking compound to the threads and using hex wrenches, install the two remaining
Lower Spacer Screws.
3.2.3 Step for Assembly of the PXD-16, PXD-32 and PXD-45 Cylinder
3.2.3.1 Assemblies
1. Hold the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered, vise jaws keeping the Housing horizontal.
2. Remove Rod Seal from the Housing, apply a coat of ‘O’-ring lubricant to the Seal and install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the
bottom of the piston bore.
3. Push the Slider Pin into one of the Sliders flush with one side. Insert the Pin through the hole in the piston shaft and press the
remaining Slider onto the Pin.
4. Insert the Piston O-ring in the groove of the piston head.
5. Insert the piston rod, threaded end leading, into the small central opening from the non-piston end of the Housing. Notch direction
in the trailing end of the shaft should be toward the Ball Plunger.
