Read the instructions  carefully. The items refer to the parts list and service kits section.

 

 
 

6.3  General Dismantling & Inspection 

 
Step 1 

 

Inlet Collar 

Loosen the Collar Set Screw (60) with a 5/64

” Hex Key, minimum 2 turns. 

Remove the Inlet Collar (3) and Stator (10). If the (3) is tight in coming off of the main body, place the main body in a vise 
equipped with soft jaw covers. Wrap a towel around the (3) and loosen it with an adjustable wrench. 
 

Warning: Hold or turn on Stem (38). DO NOT hold or turn on Tee Housing (39) or Tee Housing Cap (35). Doing so 

will damage the Geartrain (drawing 8). 

 

 
Step 2 

 

Geartrain 

Remove the Cap Screws (57) from the Cap (2) 

part using a 3/32” Hex Key.  

Remove the (2) and Body Gasket (32). Alfa Laval Gamajet Equipment recommends replacing all Gaskets after dismantling.  
Remove  the  Collar  Small  and  Large  O-rings  (26)  and  (27).  Inspect  for  wear  or  brittleness  and  replace  as  needed.  A 
sharpened brass pick may be helpful in starting to get the (26) and (27) off. Replace with new O-Rings if they show any signs 
of wear or brittleness.  
Loosen the Button Head Screws (51) from the Flow-Thru A2 Stem (50) 

using a 5/64” Hex Key. It is advisable to use the ball 

end or shorter end of the Hex Key to loosen and remove the (51). 
Holding the Geartrain (drawing 8) and the Stem (drawing 13), remove the Geartrain and Output Shaft (21) from the unit.  
Remove  the  Stem  Large  Gasket  (33)  from  the  assembly  and  set  it  aside.  Alfa  Laval  Gamajet  Equipment  recommends 
replacing all Gaskets after dismantling. 

 

 
Step 3 

 

Tee Housing 

Using flat jaw pliers or an adjustable wrench, remove the  Tee Housing Cap (35) from the Tee housing (39) by holding the 
(35) still and rotating the (39). 

Tip

: The (35) is a Left-Hand Thread.  

Unscrew the Tee Housing Assembly (drawing 12) from the Flow-Thru A2 Stem (50). 

Tip

: Again, this is a Left-Hand Thread.  

Unscrew the Nozzle Housing Cap (41) 

with a ¼” slotted screwdriver.  

Pull the Nozzle Housing (40; drawing 11) from the nose of the Tee Housing (39).  
Unthread and remove the Stem Cap (37; drawing 10). 

Tip

: The Stem Cap is a Left-Hand Thread.  

Pull the (39) from the Stem (38; drawing 9).  
Remove the Tee Housing Bevel Gear (45) and the Tee Housing Upper Bearing (54) by pulling the (45) from the (38; drawing 
9). Note how the Bearing has a bevel that fits into the top of the (45).  
Check the water outlets on the nose of the (39); they should be free of debris.  
Inspect the (45) for worn, damaged or sharp/pointed teeth.  
Inspect the Tee Housing Bearings (54) and (53). Clean any deposits from the exterior of them and check their fit in the (39). 
The external ring may be a tight fit with the inside of the (39). Once installed, however, the body of the Bearings should turn 
freely. Also, the (56) should be free from damage, compression set, or deterioration.  
Clean any deposits from the internal bore of the  (39) and examine for excessive wear. Light scoring is acceptable, but the 
(39) should be replaced if the inside diameter exceeds 

23.57mm (0

.928”)

.  

Inspect the (56) for deterioration (compression set or hardening) or damage and replace if necessary.  
Inspect the Nozzle Housing Bearings (48) and (49). Clean any deposits from the exterior of the (48) and check their fit in the 
Nozzle Housing (40). The external ring may be a tight fit with the inside of the (40). Once installed, however, the body of the 
(48) and (49) should turn freely. Also, the (56) should be free from damage, compression set, or deterioration.  
Clean any deposits from inner bore of (40) and examine for excessive wear. Light scoring is acceptable, but the (40) should 
be replaced if the inside diameter exceeds 

17.40mm (

0.685”)
