Cleaning and Inspection
CLEANING
Clean the push rods in a suitable solvent. Rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air. If necessary, use a wire brush or wheel to remove
stubborn deposits.
INSPECTION
Inspecting Push Rod For Cracks
Inspect the push rod ball and socket for signs of scoring. Check for cracks where the ball and the socket are pressed into the tube.
Inspecting Push Rod For Flatness
Roll the push rod on a flat work surface with the socket end hanging off the edge. Replace any push rod that appears to be bent.
