5. Remove pump plate.
6. Remove rotor, insert, and blades.
7. Check for debris in pump. If debris is found,
blow out with compressed air.
8. Install insert and rotor.
9. Check gap on rotor. Adjust to .003"/.004"
(.076-.101 mm) if needed (see Figure 27).
Note:
Rotate Rotor one full turn to insure the gap
is .003"/.004" (.076-.101 mm) at tightest position.
Adjust if needed.
10. Install blades, pump plate, air filters, and filter
end cover.
11. Replace fan guard and upper shell (see
Upper
Shell Removal,
page 9).
12. Adjust pump pressure (see

If rotor is still binding, proceed as follows.
13. Perform steps 1 thru 6.
14. Place fine grade sandpaper (600 grit) on flat
