High Pressure Pump Servicing Instructions – Page 3 

Replacing the Valves 

Overview 

Each of the three cylinders in the pump has two spring loaded one way valves. One valve allows water to be 

pushed into the cylinder by the lift pump as the piston retracts. The second valve opens as the piston forces 

the water under high pressure through the manifold. O-rings are used to seal around the valves. 

Only one valve kit (RM01) is necessary to replace all the valves in the pump. The kit includes new O-rings and 

valve assemblies.
