Reassembly
1.
Install the shaft u-cup packings (110*) so the lips
face
out
of the housing (101). Lubricate the pack-
2.
Apply high-strength (red) thread locker
to attach the
bolt (446a) to the diaphragm (446), if needed.
Assemble
the air side plate (445) onto the diaphragm (446).
The wide, radiused side of the plate must face the
diaphragm. Apply medium-strength (blue) thread
locker to the threads of the diaphragm assembly.
Screw the assembly into the shaft (121) hand tight.
3.
Grease the length and ends of the diaphragm shaft
(121). Insert the shaft/diaphragm assembly into one
side of the pump.
NOTE:
Turn the pump 90° on the stand for easier fluid
cover clamping.
Align the fluid cover (234) and the center housing.
Securely tighten the clamp (135).
4.
Assemble the other diaphragm assembly to the
shaft as explained in step 2. This diaphragm will be
lifted off the air cover at this point.
5.
Supply the pump with low pressure air (less than 7
psi [.05 MPa, 0.5 bar]). The diaphragm will very
slowly pull onto the air cover (120). Find the pres-
sure that keeps the diaphragm close enough to
clamp, but does not let it contact the pilot pin.
6.
Assemble the fluid cover (234) and clamp (135) so
the cover is aligned to the center housing. Tilt pump
for easier assembly. Securely tighten the clamp.
NOTE:
If the diaphragm contacts the pilot pin and is
forced away from the air cover, try Step 5 again. If nec-
essary, return to Step 3.
7.
Reassemble the ball check valves and manifolds as
explained on page 19.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, including
amputation, do not put your fingers or hand between
the air cover and the diaphragm.
NOTICE
Do not deform the diaphragm manually. The dia-
phragm needs uniform pressure to deform properly.
