Assembling the Seal Housing


Figure 7.


















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 bearing cup onto the left-hand side of the Air
Locker
.

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 (Fig. 7.).
