To
check the Jetnut for leaks
Pump grease into the nut until the pressure pad is sticking
out 1/8" equally around nut.
Put
nut under an equal amount of pressure and watch for leaks.
IF:
grease leaks out around seal area, the seal has either been cut
or there is a nick in the groove area.
IF:
Grease comes out from the bleed area, tighten bleed screw (do
not over tighten. If grease continues to leak, the bleed hole
must be drilled with a 29/64" flat bottom drill so that the
ball can seat properly. Drill about 1/16" deep, staying clear
of the groove area. If 1/16" is not enough to get the
indentation out, go just enough to remove indent. If the groove
area is hit, the nut will be beyond repair.
IF:
Grease leaks around threads of fitting, nut has to be counterbored
deeper to tighten fit around threads.
Note:When
replacing grease fitting, use teflon tape around threads of fitting.
CAUTION:
JERRY TOOLS PART #1800 HIGH PRESSURE LEAK-PROOF FITTING MUST BE
