Installation Notes

The A-220 is a hand tool requiring no power source. Before installing or removing retaining rings on any assembly, ensure the shaft or component is secured and depressurized where applicable. Use appropriate eye protection, as retaining rings can release stored energy during installation. Follow the assembly drawing or service manual for the correct ring groove dimensions and ring seating confirmation.
