• Pipes with plugs or caps to prevent oil leaking, entry of dust, etc.
• Clean the outside surface of equipment, etc. before disassembling, and drain hydraulic oil and gear oil before
putting them on working bench.

Disassembling hydraulic equipment

• Since performance and function of hydraulic equipment after disassembly and assembly results in immunity
from responsibility on the manufacture's side, disassembly, assembly and modification without permission are
strictly prohibited.
• If it is unavoidably necessary to disassemble and modify, it should be carried out by experts or personnel
qualified through service training.
• Make match mark on parts for reassembling.
• Before disassembling, read Disassembling Instruction in advance, and determine if the disassembly and
assembly are permitted or not.
• For parts which are required to use jig and tools, don't fail to use the specified jig and tools.
• For parts which can not be removed in the specified procedure, never force removal. First check for the cause.
• The removed parts should be put in order and tagged so as to install on proper places without confusion.
• For common parts, pay attention to the quantity and places.

Inspecting parts
• Check that the disassembled parts are free from adherence, interference and uneven working face.
• Measure the wear of parts and clearance, and record the measured values.
• If an abnormality is detected, repair or replace the parts.

Reassembling hydraulic equipment

• During the parts cleaning, ventilate the room.
• Before assembly, clean parts roughly first, and then completely.
• Remove adhering oil by compressed air, and apply hydraulic oil or gear oil, and then assemble them.
• Replace the removed O-ring, back-up rings and oil seal with new ones, and apply grease oil on them before
assembling.
• Removes dirt and water on the surface on which liquid sealant are applied, decrease them, and apply liquid
sealant on them.
• Before assembling, remove rust preventives on new parts.
• Use special tools to fit bearings, bushing and oil seal.
• Assemble parts matching to the marks.
• After completion, check that there is no omission of parts.
