With the housings removed, the water form hangers and spacers

This completes the disassembly process. Thoroughly clean all
parts saved for reassembly and check all mating parts (i.e.
vibrator housing to form hangers) for excessive wear. Replace
if necessary. This is important for proper operation of the new
Crestline®AltraTM Series dampening system. Refer to your
Didde parts guides for the correct part numbers. Also, clean the
inside of the press frames around the dampener area.
