Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean
and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).
Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or
other conditions which might cause leaks.
Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then
insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.
NOTE :
When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave
them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could
cause excessive wear and leakage.
Lubricate the seal housing running surface on the Air Locker carrier
with oil.
Assemble the seal housing retaining bracket onto the short spigot
of the seal housing, so that it will be held captive between the
flange cap and seal housing (as shown in Fig. 6).
Carefully install the seal housing and retaining bracket by sliding
them all of the way onto the bearing journal with a gentle twisting
motion. This will allow the O-rings to engage gently.
