Recommended Frequency: approximately every 8,000 pressurized cycles.

Step #1: Pull the bolt pin upwards and slide the bolt out the back of your Cyborg.
 
    

 		 Step #2: Remove the ram-cap by screwing it counter-clockwise.
 

 		 Step #3: Pull the ram housing from the body. This may take some work on new 07 Cyborgs.
 

 		 Step #4: Remove the ram (the brass piece) from the ram housing.
 

 		 Step #5: Using a piece of paper towel, remove all old lube from the o-rings on the outside of the ram housing.
 

 		 Step #6: Using a q-tip or scrunched piece of paper towel, clean the inside of the ram housing.

Pay special attention to cleaning the bottom of the ram housing; if lube collects here, it can cause a suction on the ram responsible for FSDO.
 

 		 Step #7: Cut the cotton head off a q-tip. Apply about half a pea size of lube to the end of the shaft. Use the lubed q-tip shaft to apply a thin layer of lubricant to the inside of the ram housing. This is the ram housing maintenance complete, so put it to the side.
 

 		 Step #8: Clean all old lube and dirt from the ram using a piece of paper towel.
 

 		 Step #9: Apply about half a pea size of lube to the larger static o-ring. Slide the floating o-ring to one side of the ram, and lube the stem evenly. Pull the floating o-ring to the other side so that it runs across the lubed stem. Lightly lube the stem again and slide the floating o-ring back and forth to ensure an even distribution of lube. Now, lube the floating o-ring.

Be careful not to get lube on the bumper o-ring, as this will cause a suction to the ram housing, which is responsible for FSDO.
 
  Step #10: Replace the ram into the ram housing. Re-insert the ram housing into the body, and replace the ram cap. You may find it beneficial to lightly lube the ram cap’s threads to avoid difficulties in the future. That concludes ram maintenance.
