EA A168

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the EA A168 plug bolt used for on Eagleman model A pallet jacks?
A: The EA A168 plug bolt seals the hydraulic manifold port opening. It prevents fluid leakage and contamination from entering unused threaded ports in the hydraulic system assembly.

Q: What thread size and material is the EA A168 plug bolt?
A: The EA A168 is steel construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Verify the thread pitch and diameter specifications from your Eagleman model A documentation to ensure correct fitment in your equipment.

Q: Can the EA A168 plug bolt be reused after removal?
A: The EA A168 plug bolt can be reused if the threads remain undamaged and the bolt seats firmly without cross-threading. Inspect the bolt for stripped threads or damage before reinstallation.

Q: What happens if the EA A168 plug bolt is missing or loose?
A: Missing or loose EA A168 plug bolts allow hydraulic fluid to escape and permit water, dirt, and contaminants to enter the hydraulic system. This degradation causes system failure, corrosion, and unsafe load handling.

Q: Is the EA A168 plug bolt compatible with other Eagleman pallet jack models?
A: The EA A168 is designed for Eagleman model A equipment. Do not use this part on other models without verifying thread specifications, port size, and manifold design compatibility with your specific equipment.
