Note: 

In December 2006, the 540 series incorporated a design change. This

set of instructions will aid in the disassembly and assembly for both designs.
Please refer to the exploded view drawing to determine which design is being
repaired and follow the appropriate instructions for that design.

The 540 Series is available with either a direct drive option or a locking hub
option. After determining which option you have, use the appropriate
instruction.

All internal seals on products manufactured after July 1, 2016 are o-ring seals.
Prior to this date the internal seals were square cut seals. It is recommended
that if the product being serviced has square seals to replace with the square
seals in this kit, likewise if the product has o-ring seals, replace with the o-
ring seals in this kit.
