Wagner Hydraulic Cylinder Repair

General
Wagner cylinders are manufactured with close toler- your Wagner cylinders. See your operator’s manual for
ances and quality materials for maximum service life. preventive maintenance details.
Maintaining hydraulic oil cleanliness is also vital to a A properly maintained machine can expect at least
long service life. Regular fluid changes, oil sampling, 10,000 hours of operation prior to hydraulic cylinder
and filter changes are required to get the most out of seal replacement.

Disassembly
1. Remove the capscrews and washers from the
packing gland, and remove the packing gland from
the barrel. See Figure 2.
2. Pull the stem and eye assembly from the barrel.
Be careful to avoid marring the inner surface of the
barrel. Keep the stem parallel to the barrel.
3. Remove either the collar (Figure 3) or the locknut
(Figure 4), and remove the piston, and the washer,
retaining ring, and spacer, if applicable.
4. Clean all of the metal components thoroughly.
5. Inspect all metal components for damage. Exam-
ine sealing surfaces of the stem and barrel for cuts
Figure 2 Remove Packing Gland and scratches. Small scratches may be polished
out with fine emery cloth. Deeply scratched com-
ponents must be replaced.
6. Inspect restrictor poppets, if applicable. See
Page 4.
Seal Replacement
1. Obtain seal replacement kit for the cylinder be-
ing serviced. Consult your parts manual for part
numbers.
2. Remove all seals in the piston and packing gland.
See Figure 5 and Figure 6. Remove the old seals
by cutting with a knife. Careful heating with a flame
will soften the seal, making the removal easier.
3. Replace all seals. Never reuse old seals.
4. See Figure 7 for seal orientation.
5. Coat O-rings and Seals with petroleum jelly before
installing, if required.

NOTE: DO NOT USE GREASE, as some greases
will not dissolve in oil and may wash off eventually
accumulating in, and clogging, the return filter.
Reassembly
1. Reassemble the cylinder in the reverse order of
disassembly.
2. Torque the piston nut (if applicable) and the pack-
ing gland capscrews to the values shown in your
parts manual. Apply medium strength threadlocker
to the packing gland capscrews, and torque in a
cross pattern.
