CHAPTER 4-Cleaning and Inspection
PARTS CLEANING
Determine which parts are going to be reused and then discard the rest.
All parts can be cleaned in most solvents, when cleaning the Guide Bushing, it is advisable not to let the
part soak in Acetone for any length of time.
Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean all threads and remove residue from all components.
•
Caution: When cleaning the Foot Valve and Piston Body do not damage the Kalrez o-ring
that is on the ball seat.
O-RING SEAT -SS OPTION
In the case of the –SS (Stainless Steel) version of the fluid section, inspect the Kalrez O-ring that is
seated in the Foot Valve and the Piston Body. If possible do not remove, doing so may damage the O-
ring. If the O-ring looks to be in good condition, wipe off will solvent and leave in the Foot Valve/Piston
Body.
If either of these O-rings are damaged and needs to be replaced, it must be ordered separately from the
repair kit or seal kit.
PARTS INSPECTION
After all the parts have been thoroughly cleaned, they need to be inspected. Spending time and money to
repair the entire fluid section will be all for nothing if a faulty part is not replaced and could possibly give
poor performance and/or do further damage to the entire assembly.
