Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the MU 200178500 wiper seal?
A: The MU 200178500 is a wiper seal designed to prevent external contaminants from entering the hydraulic cylinder. It removes debris and moisture from the rod as the cylinder extends and retracts, extending seal life and maintaining system performance.
Q: Which Multiton pallet jack models use the MU 200178500 wiper seal?
A: The MU 200178500 is compatible with Multiton TM55, TM, M, J, and S series Pallet Mule manual pallet jacks. Verify your exact model and series designation to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What are the consequences of a failed or missing wiper seal?
A: A failed MU 200178500 allows contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture to enter the hydraulic cylinder. This causes internal corrosion, reduces seal lifespan, increases friction, and may result in loss of hydraulic pressure and control. Replace immediately if damaged or torn.
Q: How often should the MU 200178500 wiper seal be replaced?
A: Replace the MU 200178500 when visual inspection shows hardening, tearing, cracking, or loss of flexibility. Typical lifespan depends on operating environment, frequency of use, and exposure to moisture and contaminants. In dusty or wet environments, inspect every 12 months.
Q: Can the MU 200178500 be cleaned and reused?
A: No. Wiper seals are not designed for reuse. Once removed, the MU 200178500 loses its elastic properties and will not seal effectively. Always install a new seal to maintain hydraulic system integrity.
