Safe Depressurization & Support: Park the machine on level ground. Lower all attachments (bucket, stabilizers, backhoe) to the ground to relieve hydraulic pressure.
Clean Workspace: Perform all work in a meticulously clean environment to prevent contamination of the hydraulic system.
Documented Disassembly: Carefully disassemble the cylinder. Photograph and label each component and its orientation.
Mandatory Metal Inspection: Thoroughly inspect the cylinder rod for scratches, pitting, or scoring. Inspect the cylinder bore for wear or damage. Replace any damaged metal components before installing new seals.
Proper Seal Installation: Lubricate all new seals with clean hydraulic fluid. Use seal installation tools (cone tools, sleeves) to guide seals over threads and sharp edges without damage.
Precision Reassembly: Follow the included diagram for correct seal order and orientation. Ensure all seals are fully seated in their grooves.
Torque Specifications: Use a calibrated torque wrench. Adhere strictly to Komatsu's specified torque values and sequences for all fasteners (gland bolts, tie-rods)
