Lubricating the Inlet Swivel Assembly:
DIXON BAYCO supplies the inlet swivel assembly already lubricated. However, if the inlet
swivel should become difficult to rotate it is recommended to re-apply lubrication. The inlet
swivel can be lubricated without disassembly. HOWEVER, MAKE SURE THE BALL
NOZZLE AND INLET SWIVEL ARE NOT UNDER PRESSURE. DAMAGE TO THE
PARTS OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR!
Order repair kit SWMF-RK1.
Remove one of the three set-screws (22) from the inlet swivel assembly with a 1/8” hex
key.
Insert the grease-fitting adapter into the screw hole; connect grease fitting to adapter. Be
careful not to strip the threads inside the screw hole!
Apply a lubricating product until it begins to emerge through the screw holes (loosen one
additional screw to ease emerging grease) or from the dust seal end. It is highly
recommended to use such a product as DuPont Krytox GPL-204 to ensure superior cold
temperature performance and longevity of the internal seals.
Remove grease-fitting adapter; reinsert the set-screw (22) complete with lock washer
(23); tighten snug, but be careful not to strip the threads!
Inspecting and Rebuilding the Inlet Swivel Assembly:
The DIXON BAYCO hose swivel may be rebuilt while still connected to the ball nozzle and
hose fitting. However, the hose line must be depressurized and completely emptied prior to
disassembly TO AVOID COMPONENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY!
Remove all three set-screws (22) and lock washers (23); gently pull swivel housing (20
and 21A/21B) apart.
Remove dust seal (32) and rear bearing (29); remove front bearing (28); remove o-ring
holder complete with o-ring seals (26, 30, 31); remove support washer (33).
At this point it may be decided to simply replace the main seals (26, 30, 31), the dust seal
(32) and the radial bearings (29, 28). If this is the case, use repair kit SWMF-RK2 / SWMF-
RK22. Then, skip the next two disassembly steps and proceed to the bottom paragraph
describing reassembly. However, if a complete inlet swivel rebuild is required (including
ball bearing [24, 25] and support ring [34]), use repair kit SWMF-RK3 / SWMF-RK32 and
proceed with the following instructions.
Remove retaining ring (27) with proper removal pliers, be careful NOT TO SCRATCH
any sealing surfaces on the swivel inlet (21A/21B) when pulling off.
Remove thrust washers (25) and thrust bearing (24); remove support ring (34).
Thoroughly wipe off the old grease from all removed components with a clean rag. Visually
examine all components. Remove any burrs and sharp edges that could damage the seals
during reassembly. Replace any damaged parts. Before assembly, liberally apply lubricant
(DuPont Krytox GPL-204 is recommended) to the inside diameter of the swivel body (20),
the outside diameter of the swivel inlet (21A/21B), the o-ring holder complete with o-ring
