3 Installing the Air Locker

3.6 Installing the Seal Housing

 Make sure the grooves and airway of the seal housing are clean

and free from any contaminants (e.g. water, dirt, metal filings, etc.).

 Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or

other conditions which might cause leaks.

 Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then

insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.

NOTE : When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave

them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could

cause excessive wear and leakage.

 Lubricate the seal housing running surface on the Air Locker carrier

with oil.

 Carefully install the seal housing by sliding it all of the way onto the

bearing journal with a gentle twisting motion until it sits flat against

the adjuster nut.

NOTE : A twisting motion (i.e., a slight rotation while pressing

the seal housing on) will allow the O-rings to engage

gently and prevent them from twisting. Twisted

O-rings will result in pre-mature O-ring wear and oil

contamination in the air system due to the helical

shape formed by the O-ring mould line.

 Rotate the seal housing until the square cutout lines up with the

locking tab position at the center of the bearing cap, and then

assemble the locking tab. (Fig.8.)
