Hydraulic System

3. Slowly remove the counterbalance valve (3) and

pilot-operated check valve (4) from the eyelet end of

the tube (2). If necessary, remove the grease

fitting (5) from the tapped hole in the eyelet end of

the tube.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT tamper with or attempt to reset

the counterbalance valve cartridge. If adjustment or

replacement is necessary, replace the counterbalance

valve with a new part.

4. If the spherical bearing (6) requires replacement,

carefully press the bearing out of the tube eyelet.

5. If necessary, remove the grease fitting (7) from the

tapped hole in the eyelet end of the rod (8).

6. If the spherical bearing (9) requires replacement,

support the rod (8) in a soft-jawed vise or other

suitable holding device. Carefully press the bearing

out of the rod eyelet.

7. Extend the rod (8) as required to allow access to the

base of the cylinder.

IMPORTANT: Protect the finish on the rod at all times.

Damage to the surface of the rod can cause seal failure.

8. Using a pin spanner wrench, unscrew the head

gland (10) from the tube (2). The head gland was

originally torqued to 500-600 lb-ft (678-814 Nm), so

a considerable amount of force is required. Carefully

slide the head gland down along the rod toward the

eyelet end, away from the cylinder tube (2).

IMPORTANT: When sliding the rod and piston assembly

in the tube, prevent the threaded end of the tube from

damaging the piston (11). Keep the rod centered within

the tube to help prevent binding.

9. Carefully pull the rod (8) with all attachments straight

out of the tube (2).

10. Fasten the eyelet end of the rod in a soft-jawed vise

and put a padded support below and near the

threaded end of the rod to help prevent damage to

the rod.

11. Remove both locking inserts (12) from their

installation holes in the head gland threads. Pry or

drill out the inserts as required. DO NOT damage the

head gland threads. New locking inserts will be

required for reassembly.

12. Remove the hex nut (13) securing the piston (11) to

the rod. The locknut is a deformed-thread type nut

installed with Loctite #271 (red) and torqued to

2200-2600 lb-ft (2983-3525 Nm).

13. Remove the piston (11) from the rod (8).

Note: It may be necessary to apply heat to break the

bond of the sealant between locknut (13) and the rod (8)

before the piston can be removed. Some parts of

cylinders are sealed with a special organic sealant and

locking compound.

Before attempting to disassemble these parts, remove

any accessible seals from the area of the bonded joint.

Wipe off any hydraulic oil and heat the joint uniformly to

break the bond. A temperature of 300-400° F (149-204° C)

will destroy the bond. Avoid overheating or the parts may

become distorted or damaged. Apply sufficient torque or

pressure for removal while the parts are still hot.

Breakdown of sealant will leave a white, powdery residue

on threads and parts. Clean the residue away with a soft

brass wire brush prior to reassembly, and wipe with

Loctite “T” cleaner before reinstallation.

14. Remove the two precision wear bands (14) and

capped T-seal (15) from the piston (11).

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.

15. Remove the small o-ring (16) from within the

piston (11).

16. Remove the o-ring (17), back-up ring (18) and o-

ring (19) from the head gland (10). Slide the o-rings

and back-up ring off the rod (8).

17. Remove the precision wearbands (20), DZR seal

(21) and sealed outside diameter heavy-duty rod

wiper (22) from the head gland (10).

18. Remove the two plugs (23) from the base end of the

cylinder.

c. Lift/Lower Cylinder Cleaning

1. Remove all hydraulic fluid, dirt and debris from the

inner surface of the cylinder tube (2).

2. Discard all seals, back-up rings, o-rings, etc.

Replace with new items from a complete seal kit (24)

to help ensure proper cylinder function.

3. Clean all metal parts with an approved cleaning

solvent such as trichlorethylene. Carefully clean

cavities, grooves, threads, etc.

Note: If a white, powdery residue is present on threads

and parts, it can be removed. Clean the residue away

with a soft brass wire brush prior to reassembly, and

wipe with Loctite “T” cleaner before reinstallation.
