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.
Carefully install the seal housing by sliding it all of the way onto the
bearing journal with a gentle twisting motion. This will allow the O-
rings to engage gently.
NOTE :
Make sure the orientation of the seal housing is as
shown in Figure 13., with the seal housing flange
closest to the flange cap.
