SERVICING YOUR

PUMP

VALVE ASSEMBLIES

(Figure 1)

1. All  inlet  and  discharge  valves  can  be  serviced

without  disrupting  the  inlet  or  discharge

plumbing.  The  inlet  and  discharge  valves

are identical in all models.

2. To  service  any  valve,  remove  valve  cap  and

extract valve assembly.

3. Examine  o-rings  and  replace  if  there  is  any

evidence of cuts abrasions or distortion.

4. Remove  valve  assembly  (retainer,  spring  valve,

valve seat) from valve cavity.

5. Remove o-ring from valve cavity.

6. Only  one  valve  kit  is  necessary  to  repair  all  the

valves in the pump. The kit included new o-rings, 

valve  seat,  poppet,  spring  and  retainer,  all

pre-assembled.

7. Install new o-rings in valve cavity.

8. Insert assembly into valve cavity.

9. Replace  valve  cap  and  torque  to  specifications.

REMOVING MANIFOLD HEAD

(Figure 2)

1. Remove  the  fasteners  retaining  the  head.

2. Separate head from crankcase. 

NOTE:

It may be

necessary  to  tap  head  lightly  with  rawhide

mallet  to  loosen.

CAUTION

When  sliding  head 

from crankcase use caution not to damage plungers.

3. The  V-packing  assemblies  may  come  off  with

the  head.  At  this  point,  examine  plungers.

Plunger  surfaces  should  be  smooth  and  free

from scoring or pitting; if not, replace.

4. Reinstall  manifold  head  and  torque  to

specifications  per  sequence  described  below.

TORQUE SEQUENCE FOR TIGHTENING HEAD

(Figure 4)

Install all head bolts fingertight. Torque to 10 foot pounds

in sequence as shown, then retorque to specifications,

again in sequence shown.
