Reassembling the Actuator

To reassemble the cylinder actuator, refer to Figures 1 through 4:

with a calcium complex grease (DuBois MPG-2 or equivalent).
Silicone O-rings must be lubricated with Magnalube-G lubricant or
equivalent.

lubricant.

Parts listed change location upon reversing air action. No new parts are required.
NOTE: Applying a light coating of lubricant to the entire cylinder
bore, end cap and both sides of the piston enables smooth
operation and can help reduce corrosion.
3. Lubricate the outside of the replacement bushing if the stem
bushing has been removed. Press a new lower stem bushing into
the actuator stem bore in the yoke until it bottoms out. Press the
upper stem bushing into the bore until it is flush with the top of the
yoke (refer to Figures 1 or 2).
4. Replace the actuator stem O-ring and yoke O-ring.
