CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Clean all parts thoroughly in an approved cleaning sol-
vent.
2. Inspect the cylinder rod for scoring, tapering, ovality, or
other damage. If necessary, dress rod with Scotch Brite
or equivalent. Replace rod if necessary.
3. Inspect threaded portion of rod for excessive damage.
Dress threads as necessary.
4. Inspect inner surface of cylinder barrel tube for scoring
or other damage. Check inside diameter for tapering or
ovality. Replace if necessary.
5. Inspect piston surface for damage and scoring and for
distortion. Dress piston surface or replace piston as nec-
essary.
6. Inspect threaded portion of piston for damage. Dress
threads as necessary.
7. Inspect seal and o-ring grooves in piston for burrs and
sharp edges. Dress applicable surfaces as necessary.
8. Inspect cylinder head inside diameter for scoring or
other damage and for ovality and tapering. Replace as
necessary.
9. Inspect seal and o-ring grooves in head for burrs and
sharp edges. Dress applicable surfaces as necessary.
10. Inspect cylinder head outside diameter for scoring or
other damage and ovality and tapering. Replace as nec-
essary.
11. If applicable, inspect rod and barrel bearings for signs of
correct excessive wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
a. Thoroughly clean hole, (steel bushing) of burrs, dirt
etc. to facilitate bearing installation.
b. Inspect steel bushing for wear or other damage. If
steel bushing is worn or damaged, rod/barrel must
