CAUTION
EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN when
disassembling the Pistons and the Upper and
Lower Piston Plugs. Under certain conditions,
pressure may bypass one of the two O-Ring
Seals in the Piston Bore and become trapped
between them. When the above parts are
removed, any trapped pressure will be
released in a flash. Although the volume of
trapped fluid or gas is extremely small, EYE
PROTECTION MUST BE WORN to prevent eye
injury.

that one-half to three quarters of the 1/4"
diameter check hole in the Slip Ring (17) is
clear.
9. Place Shear Ring Retainer (20) over the Ratch-
et Sleeve (16) and position the Short String
Lock Ring (19) on the Ratchet Sleeve (16), be-
low the wickers, but not in the groove. Slide
Shear Ring Retainer (20) over Long String
Mandrel (2). Install O-Rings (22) in the Ratchet
Sleeve (16).
NOTE: WHEN FIELD REDRESSING
Because of the amount of rubber pressure created
in the Shock Absorber when the A-5 Packer is set,
the Shear Ring Retainer (20) may swell slightly. The
swollen portion can be easily filed off if it interferes.
The Shear Ring Retainer can be re-used without a
problem.
10.Insert Proto-Lock Ring Pliers through the hole
in the Slip Ring (17) and spread open the Man-
drel Lock Ring (18). Work up the Ratchet
