2. If either brake drags without being energized and the gap is less than 10 mils, equally
shim all three spacer sleeves, Items #608, to increase the air gap to the specified
range. Refer to Figures 6 and 7. Item 607 denotes shim location on the illustrations, but
as a spare part. It consists of a pack of six 20-mil shims and twelve 5-mil shims.
NOTE: Care must be taken in this adjustment as permanent damage can result. We
recommend that all other possible causes listed under “Troubleshooting-Brake
Slipping” be investigated first.
6.5 Jammed Slider Block
1. The slider block is probably jammed if the stroke cannot be freely adjusted using the
handwheel with the override switch pulled out and no pressure load on the pump. To
confirm the problem, remove the cover (Item #529A, Figures 8 and 9) over the
oscillating housing and observe the position of the front connecting rod, Item #353,
where it enters the housing, Item #351 where Figure 5 refers. If the slider block is
jammed, the connecting rod will be at the extreme top or bottom position.
2. Two free a jam, turn the slotted nut, Item #535, with the cotter pin, Item #539,
remaining in place, using a wrench. (Refer to Figures 8 and 9). If the connecting rod is
in the top position, rotate the nut counterclockwise. If the connecting rod is in the
bottom position, rotate the nut clockwise.
3. Replace the cover.
7. Ordering Parts

1. Pump model and serial number (stamped on the pump nameplate, e.g. 7120-S-AE with
