General InsTruCTIOns
Cleanliness is a primary means of assuring
satisfactory life on repaired units . Thoroughly
clean all exposed surfaces prior to any type
of maintenance . Cleaning of all parts by us-
ing a solvent wash and air drying is usually
adequate . As with any precision equipment, all
parts must be kept free of foreign material and
chemicals .
Protect all exposed sealing surfaces and open
cavities from damage and foreign material . The
external surfaces should be cleaned before
beginning any repairs .
Upon removal, it is recommended that all seals,
O-rings, and gaskets be replaced . During
installation lightly lubricate all seals, O-rings,
gaskets with a clean petroleum jelly prior to
assembly . Also protect the inner diameter of
seals by covering the shaft with a cellophane
(plastic wrap, etc .) material . Be sure all rem-
nants of this covering are removed after ser-
vicing .
Parts requiring replacement must be replaced
from the appropriate kits identified in the Items
Listing, found on page 37 . Use only original
Hydro-Gear ® replacement parts found listed in
BLN-51427 (CD) .
IMPORTANT: When internal repair is per-
formed on the T2 ® , the filter assembly must be
replaced .
