6. Install new Gasket, then O-Ring, then Back-up-Ring onto

each Plunger Retainer.

NOTE: OEM models have a longer Plunger Retainer Stud.

7. Apply Loctite 242 to exposed threads of Stud and thread

Plunger Retainer onto Plunger Rod. Torque per chart.

8. Install the seal Retainer with NEW Wick onto each rod with

tab down and wick out.

NOTE: Do not lubricate wicks at initial start-up.
Operate for 10 to 15 minutes to allow grease from
LPS to penetrate the plunger surface, then lubricate
as needed.

9. Rotate Crankshaft by hand so the two outside plungers

are extended equally.

10.Lightly lubricate the Ceramic Plungers, then carefully slide

the Manifold Head over the Ceramic Plungers supporting it
from the underside to avoid damage to the Ceramic
Plungers or Seals. On the high pressure V-Packing models
or larger manifolds, it may be necessary to gently tap with a
soft mallet until the manifold is flush with the crankcase.

11.Replace two (2) Lockwashers, two (2) Socket Head

Screws or four (4) Flanged Nuts and torque per chart.

SERVICING THE CRANKCASE SECTION

1. While Manifold, Plungers and Seal Retainers are 

removed, examine Crankcase Oil Seals for leaking and
wear.

2. Check for any signs of leaking at Bearing Covers, Rear

Cover, Drain Plug or Bubble Gauge.

3. Check oil level and for evidence of water in oil.

4. Rotate Crankshaft by hand to feel for smooth bearing

movement.

5. Examine Crankshaft Oil Seals externally for drying, crack-

ing or leaking.

6. Consult CAT PUMPS or your local distributor if crankcase

service is evidenced.

See Section I of the Plunger Pump Service Video for addi-
tional information.

* If other than CAT PUMPS special multi-viscosity ISO68 oil is used, change

cycle should be every 300 hours.

** Each system’s maintenance cycle will be exclusive. If system performance

decreases, check immediately. If no wear at 1500 hours, check again at
2000 hours and each 500 hours until wear is observed. Valves typically
require changing every other seal change.

Duty cycle, temperature, quality of pumped liquid and inlet feed conditions all
effect the life of pump wear parts and service cycle.

** Remember to service the regulator/unloader at each seal servicing and check

all system accessories and connections before resuming operation.

Refer to video for additional assistance.
