Using a generous amount of grease or hydraulic fluid on the two hex cap o-rings
item (6) screw the hex caps into the body until the hex cap bottoms out. No
specific torque is required for tightening since the hex cap design is a straight
thread/o-ring sealing designed component.
Note:
before re-installing the hex caps (2) and o-rings (6), visually inspect the
o-rings (6) for any nicks or abrasions. Replace o-rings if worn or cuts are observed.

Handle effort on the pressure stroke will depend on line pressure and line
valve position.
c.
Pressure stroke should be smooth and feel solid, not spongy, indicating pressure
lines are open and full of fluid.
d.
At the end of operator stroke (line valve open or closed) the handle should
stop solid on the pressure stroke, indicating no bypass flow in operator or hydraulic
