O-rings, oil seals and gaskets
O-rings, oil seals and gaskets
t  Always renew O-rings, oil seals and gaskets.
t  After removing gaskets, check the contact surfaces of the casing and shaft for feathering or damage caused by the removal process.
t  Thoroughly clean housing joint surfaces before assembling.
t  Always replace paper gaskets, completely disposing of the used gasket and thoroughly cleaning the contact surfaces.
t  Lightly lubricate the outer circumference and sealing lip of oil seals with gear oil before installing.
t  Coat the O-rings with gear oil or Vaseline before fitting to avoid crushing during assembly.
t  Never use other lubricants in the gear oil area. Otherwise there is a danger of operation faults in the hydraulic gear mechanism.
t  The open side of the oil seal should face the side containing the fluid.
t  When installing a new oil seal, position the seal such that the sealing lip does not contact the shaft in the same place as the old seal (make use of installation depth tolerances).
t  Observe rules for cleanliness → Chapter.
