TM 10-3930-671-24 Check  the  threaded  section  of  the  cylinder  to  be  sure threads are undamaged.  Check  the  gland  nut  and  base end  and  ports  for  cracks  or  damage  that  could  cause failure.   Inspect   the   ports   to   be   sure   they   are   free   of contamination  and  that  the  threads  are  clean  and  not damaged. 5. Put a light coating of hydraulic fluid on all parts. If parts are to be left disassembled for a period of time, e.g., overnight, they should be covered with a clean cloth. Reassembly NOTE Be sure inside of cylinder and all parts are clean before starting reassembly. 1. Install new seals, as previously noted. 2. Reassemble cylinder carefully to prevent damage  to  seal  lips  and  O-rings.  Seals  may  be lubricated  with  hydraulic  oil  to  assist  assembly into cylinder barrel. 3. Install  cylinder  gland  on  piston  rod.  Use  gentle pressure     and     careful     movements     to     avoid damage   to   the   gland   packing   and   rod   wiper when these parts are moved over the piston rod end. 4. Install  piston  into  cylinder  barrel.  Be  careful  not to  damage  the  piston  seals  when  installing  the piston into end of cylinder. 5. Then, install gland into cylinder. Be careful not to damage gland seal. 6. Install and correctly tighten the gland nut. Tightening torque spec: [67-81 Nm] 50-60 Ibf. ft. Be    sure    gland    nut    is    tightened    to    correct    torque. Insufficient torque may cause inadvertent  loosening  and failure  of  tilt  cylinder  during  operation  resulting  in  load shifting and possible injury to personnel. 7. Check  the  assembly  by  making  sure  the  piston slides freely in and out of the cylinder. Rod End Assembly F-479
