Removal of O-rings and Bearings, Seat Lifting
Actuators
NOTE: For larger drawings and complete partlists, see “W71/
W73 Seat Lift Actuator” on page 78 and “W72RS/W72RSP Seat
Lift Actuator” on page 82.
1. For seat lifting valves, remove the cap screws (Figure 27,
item 9) and remove the lower cartridge (yoke, item 12; adjust-
ing nut, item 20; adjusting sleeve, item 24; and upper seat
piston, item 23).

cartridge removal
2. To disassemble the cartridge, remove the adjusting nut (item
20) and separate the parts.

3. Remove the small spring (Figure 27, item 18). On W71/W73
valves, also remove the bushing (Figure 26, item 28).
4. Pull out the upper cartridge (main piston, item 22; lower seat
spring and piston, item 10), by carefully threading in the lower
stem to pull it. Do not bend the lower stem.
Alternate method: Flip the canister
right-side up and gently
tap it on the table (or push down the indicator stem) until the
air vacuum releases and the upper cartridge slides out the
open end.

5. Inspect the nine o-rings (Figure 27, items 6, 7, 8, and 11) and
replace them if they are worn or damaged.

6. Inspect the five bearings on W71/W73 (Figure 27, items 5,
14, 15, 16, and 21) or four bearings on W72RS actuators
(items 5, 14, 15, and 16). If the bearing does not extend
slightly above the edge of the metal surface, replace it.

7. The bearing is split to allow its removal from the groove.
Place a screwdriver behind the bearing and pry it away from
the wall of the yoke. A needle-nose pliers can be used to grip
the bearing for removal.

lift piston reassembly
NOTE: The bearing will be damaged during removal and must be
replaced with a new bearing.

of actuator: spacers and inner
spring
8. For seat lifting valves, assemble the stack components as
shown. Make sure that the upper cartridge components are
fully inserted. Install the yoke and adjustment nut.
Maintenance Video 24: Reassembly
of lower cartridge o-rings and
bearings
NOTE: Installation of the piston and spring assembly on 4"
actuators requires a special sleeve to contain the bearing on the
piston while installing the assembly. See Figure 29 and Figure 28
on page 30.
