Aztech Systems 8, 4, TX 2 manual Assembly of the TX-16 and TX-32 Cylinder Assemblies

NOTICE

In the following step, an excessive amount of grease will prevent proper tooth engagement between the Ratchet and the Drive Segment causing the tool to malfunction.

7.Wipe a thin film of Marine Grade Moly Lube onto the inner race of the large opening in the Drive Plate.

8.Position the Ratchet (6) in the central opening of the Drive Plate.

9.Insert the Drive Segment (7) into the opening adjacent to the Ratchet. Make certain the teeth of the Ratchet correctly engage the teeth of the Drive Segment.

Reverse the Ratchet if they do not properly engage.

10.Slide the Drive Segment sideways to expose the spring hole. Install the Segment Spring (14) into the hole. While compressing the Spring, slide the Drive Segment inward until the Drive Plate captures the Segment Spring.

11.Apply a light coat of Marine Grade Moly Lube to both sides of the Drive Plate and Drive Segment. Apply some of the Moly Lube to the inner races of both Side Plate Sleeves (12).

12.While keeping the assembly together, insert the hub of the Ratchet into the Side Plate Sleeve of the assembled Side Plate.

13.Place the Left Side Plate Sleeve on the hub of the Ratchet and align the screw holes for the Spacers.

14.After applying a non-permanent thread-locking compound to the threads and using hex wrenches, install the two remaining Lower Spacer Screws.

Assembly of the TX-16 and TX-32 Cylinder Assemblies

1.Grasp the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered, vise jaws with the Housing (1) horizontal.

2.If the Rod Seal (16) was removed from the Housing, apply a coat of o-ring lubricant to the Seal and install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the bottom of the piston bore.

3.Press the Slider Pin (14) into one of the Sliders (5) flush with one side. Install the Pin through the hole in the piston shaft and press the remaining Slider onto the Pin.

4.Install the Piston O-ring (17) in the groove of the piston head.

5.Insert the piston rod, threaded end leading, into the small central opening from the non-piston end of the Housing. The notch in the trailing end of the shaft should be toward the Ball Plunger (13).

6.Insert the piston, hex end trailing, into the bore of the Housing, and use socket to thread and tighten the piston onto the piston shaft.

7.Install the End Plug Seal (15) in the groove on the hub of the End Cap (7).

8.Using the End Plug Wrench (21), thread the assembled End Cap, o-ring end leading, into the piston end of the Housing and tighten it.

9.Wrap the threads of the Swivel Sets (18) with Teflon tape and thread the swivel with the male hose Coupler (19) into the center of the End Cap. Thread the Swivel with the female Coupler into the hole in the Housing directly above the End Cap.

Assembly of the TX-2, TX-4, and TX-8 Cylinder Assemblies

1.Grasp the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered, vise jaws with the Housing (1) horizontal.

2.If the Rod Seal (16) was removed from the Housing, apply a coat of o-ring lubricant to the Seal and install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the bottom of the piston bore.

3.Press the Slider Pin (14) into one of the Sliders (5) flush with one side. Install the Pin through the hole in the piston shaft and press the remaining Slider onto the Pin.

4.Install the Piston O-ring (17) in the grooves of the piston head.

5.Insert the piston rod, threaded end leading, into the small central opening from the non-piston end of the Housing. The notch in the trailing end of the shaft should be toward the Ball Plunger (13).

6.Insert the piston, hex end trailing, into the bore of the Housing, and use socket to thread and tighten the piston onto the piston shaft.

7.Install the End Plug Seal (15) in the groove on the hub of the End Cap (7).

8.Using the End Plug Wrench (21), thread the assembled End Cap, o-ring end leading, into the piston end of the Housing and tighten it.

9.Wrap the threads of the Swivel Sets (18) with Teflon tape and thread the swivel with the male hose Coupler (19) into the center of the End Cap. Thread the Swivel with the female Coupler into the hole in the Housing directly above the End Cap.

1.Grasp the link retaining pin lug in copper-covered vise jaws with the Housing (1) horizontal.

2.If the Rod Seal (16) was removed from the Housing, apply a coat of o-ring lubricant to the Seal sand install it, lip end trailing, in the recess at the bottom of the piston bore.

3.Insert the piston rod, notched end leading, into the Rod Seal and the small central opening from the piston end of the Housing. The notch in the leading end of the shaft should be toward the Ball Plunger (13).

4.Push the Piston Rod (2) inward until the hole for the Slider Pin (14) aligns with the holes in the walls of the Housing.

5.Position one Slider (6) on each side of the piston shaft and insert the Slider Pin through the hole in the Housing into both Sliders and the piston shaft. The fit between the Pin and Sliders is an interference fit. Use a brass hammer and drift to set the Slider Pin below
