Note: Remember the following when removing and attaching
the check valve assembly:
(1) Tighten sufficiently the bolts securing pump head
before loosening the check valve assembly. If the
bolts are loose the plungers may be damaged by
loosening the check valve assembly.
(2) Loosen the bolts securing the pump head to their
original tightness after the check valve assembly
has been replaced.
(3) When turning the wrench, be sure to hold the
pump so that it doesn
’
t move.
(4) The check valve assembly has an IN section and
an OUT section.
Clean the remaining gasket material or other contaminants
remaining on the inside surface of the check valve assembly
by rinsing the contaminated areas using a syringe filled with
methanol. After cleaning, wipe the inside surface using a piece
of clean gauze.
