Foot Installation for SL style jack Leg assemblies
SL 18, SL 16 and SL 15 Leg Assemblies
This assembly utilizes the 3/4" Flat Head Allen Bolt, 3/4" X 1 1/4" FHSCS - Equalizer part # 1383.
Required for installation:
• Brush and solvent to clean threads
• Blue Loctite
• 1/2" drive impact gun
• 1/2" drive X 1/2" Allen Hex socket
• Compressed air source and air blow gun
Process
1. Using solvent and brush, clean out the threaded hole in cylinder rod end (there may be grease
in this threaded hole for corrosion protection during storage/shipping. This grease or corrosion
protection must be cleaned out prior to installing the foot). Use compressed air to dry.
2. Apply liberally, blue Loctite to threads of cylinder rod or bolt (part # 1383).
3. Hold foot pad in place at end of cylinder rod with the cupped end to the cylinder rod.
4. Insert the bolt (part # 1383) through the hole in the center of the foot pad into the threaded end of
the rod. Turn clockwise by hand to start (you may use the 1/2" Allen bit to help). Be sure that the bolt
starts in straight and is not cross threaded.
5. Using the 1/2" Allen drive bit and 1/2" impact wrench/gun, tighten the bolt into the rod. Allow the
impact wrench to impact/drive the bolt totally to full depth. Note that the cylinder rod will/may rotate as
you do this.
Notes
• When completed the foot is not intended to be tight. It is designed to pivot slightly and will be free
to rotate when the cylinder is slightly extended.
• There is a "foam" cushion or damping ring that is attached to the bottom of the cylinder body
with adhesive. Its only purpose is to keep the foot from rattling when fully retracted. If it comes
loose/falls it may be glued back up to the bottom of the cylinder or it may even be removed.
Replacement part number for this ring on SL 15 and SL 16 is part # 1800. Replacement part
number for the ring on SL 18 is part # 1799.
• Some cylinder rods may have a rubber ring around them that may stick to the rod as it is
extended. This is a protection ring that is used in production to keep paint from the rod and lower
seal area. It may be ignored or removed; it has no other use. Its presence, or lack of, is not a
defective component.
