Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the DA B145-97 wiper seal do on a Dayton pallet jack?
A: The DA B145-97 is a dynamic wiper seal that scrapes dirt and contaminants off the hydraulic rod as it extends and retracts. It protects the inner seal from debris that could cause leakage or damage.
Q: Which Dayton pallet jack model requires the DA B145-97 wiper?
A: The DA B145-97 wiper is designed for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. It is installed on the hydraulic cylinder rod to keep contaminants out of the seal cavity.
Q: How do I know if the DA B145-97 wiper needs replacement?
A: If you notice excessive dirt accumulation around the rod, visible cracks in the wiper elastomer, or hydraulic fluid leaking past the rod seal, the wiper seal has lost effectiveness and requires replacement.
Q: What material is the DA B145-97 wiper made from?
A: The DA B145-97 is a polyurethane or elastomer wiper ring. Polyurethane provides excellent abrasion resistance and durability for repetitive wiping cycles in material handling environments.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the DA B145-97 wiper seal?
A: The DA B145-97 typically lasts 2-3 years with normal use on a 4YX97 pallet jack. Frequent operation in dirty, wet, or outdoor environments may reduce wiper life. Regular cleaning of the rod helps extend seal performance.
