shaft (24) as follows:
a.
Install the o-ring (108*) on the shaft bolt (107).
b.
Install the fluid side diaphragm plate (105) on
the bolt so the rounded side faces the
diaphragm (401).
NOTE:
The fluid side diaphragm plate (105) is stainless
steel. This plate
is not
stamped with its part number. Be
sure to install this plate on the fluid side of the
diaphragm.
c.
Install the diaphragm (403*). Make certain the
side marked AIR SIDE faces the center
