Disassembly and re-assembly.
Dismantling and assembly should only be carried out using the sectional drawing.
Do not disassemble the tool until you know whether the problem is in the power supply, the
gearbox module, or the power and control (rear) module. Then only disassemble the tool as
necessary to repair as required. Keep contaminants such as dirt and grit away from the internal
parts at all times.
Always determine and correct the cause of the problem prior to re-assemble. Further wear and tool
failure can result, if the original cause is not corrected.
Prior to disassembly
Clean the exterior of the tool.
Make sure to have all new seals so they can be replaced during re-assembly. Note the orientation
of seals before removal. Install new seals in the same position as the original seals.
Note: For orientation of the parts identified in the following procedures, refer to the sectional
drawing and parts list located at the end of this manual.
Replace wear parts –in particular the vanes- when necessary. The vanes are considered worn if
their width is less 7,2 mm.
