Plunger Rod Reassembly And Installation
(Figure 3)
If the eccentric bearing (2) was removed, clean the
bore of the eccentric cap (1) with a cloth soaked in
cleaning solvent.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and

tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
precautions printed on solvent contain
ers.
Use a suitably sized dowel and an arbor (or hy

into the eccentric cap until fully seated.
Slide the plunger rod (14) through the upper dia
phragm plate (8). Install the flat washer (7), spring
(6), spring washer (5) and jam nut (4). Compress
the spring to the dimension shown in Figure 3 by
