3.7 Installing the Bulkhead Fitting
c To obtain an oil tight seal, apply a thread sealant to the threads of
the bulkhead body, screw it into the bulkhead port (from the
outside), and tighten.
c Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and
outside of the housing).
3.8 Installing the Seal Housing
c Apply a thin film of high pressure grease to the outside of the
tapered roller bearing cup supplied with the Air Locker.
c Using a bearing press or arbor press, press the bearing cup into the
seal housing (narrow edge first) until it stops at the end of the bore.
NOTE : Do not install the bearing cup upside down. Refer to
Figure 9. for the correct installation direction.
Be careful not to bend the seal housing tube or
damage the O-ring grooves.
Figure 9.
c Make sure the seal housing tube and the grooves of the seal
housing are clean and free from any contaminants (e.g., water, dirt,
metal filings, etc.).
c Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or
other conditions which might cause leaks.
c 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.
