8. Install the capped T-seal (1) and precision
wearbands (2) onto the piston (3).
Note: The T-seal actually consists of four components: a
wide, flexible inner band, the flexible T-seal band itself,
and two supportive split caps that mount on either side of
the “T” itself.
9. Install new oiled o-ring (4), back-up ring (5) and oiled
o-ring (7) onto the head gland (8).
10. Install two new locking inserts (6) into their holes in
the head gland (8) threads.
IMPORTANT: When sliding the rod and piston assembly
into the tube, prevent the threaded end of the tube from
damaging the piston (3). Keep the rod centered within
the tube to help prevent binding. Protect the finish on the
rod at all times. Damage to the surface of the rod can
cause seal failure.
11. Carefully insert the rod (9) with all attachments
straight into the tube (10).
12. Using a pin spanner wrench, thread the head gland
(8) into the tube (10). Torque the head gland to 300-
400 lb-ft (407-542 Nm).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT tamper with or attempt to reset
the counterbalance valve (11). If adjustment or
replacement is necessary, replace a counterbalance
valve with a new part.
13. Lubricate the counterbalance valve (11) and the
pilot-operated check valve (12) with clean, filtered
hydraulic oil. Using new oiled o-rings, thread the
valves into the tube (10). Torque to 30-35 lb-ft
(41-47 Nm).
