All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-ringsmust be cleaned.2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings during reassembly. Ap-ply grease to the oil seal lips.LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER PINSAll lock washers/plates 1 and cotter pins must be replaced if theyare removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or nut flat(s)after the bolt or nut has been properly tightened.BEARINGS AND OIL SEALSInstall the bearings 1 and oil seals 2 with their manufacturer’smarks or numbers facing outwards. (In other words, the stamped let-ters must be on the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seals,apply a light coating of lightweight lithium base grease to the seal lips.Oil the bearings liberally when installing.Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This causesdamage to the surface of the bearings.CIRCLIPSAll circlips should be inspected carefully before reassembly. Alwaysreplace piston pin clips after one use. Replace misshapen circlips.When installing a circlip 1 , make sure that the sharp edged corner2 is positioned opposite to the thrust 3 it receives. See the section-al view.4 ShaftLOCTITE After installing fasteners that have LOCTITE applied, wait 24 hoursbefore using the machine. This will give the LOCTITE time to dryproperly.
