Service, Disconnecting the Displacement Pump

Service

Disconnecting the Displacement Pump

1.Flush the pump if possible. Stop the pump at the bottom of its stroke. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8.

2.Disconnect the air and fluid hoses. Remove the pump from its mounting. Note the relative position of the pump’s fluid outlet (R) to the air motor’s air inlet (S).

3.Unscrew the tie rod locknuts (102) from the tie rods (103). Remove the cotter pin (111). Unscrew the displacement rod (13) from the air motor (108). Carefully pull the displacement pump (101) off the air motor (108). Inspect the o-ring (110). See Fig 4.

4. Refer to page 13 for displacement pump service.	S
To service the air motor, refer to the separate air
motor manual (306982 or 307043), supplied.

Reconnecting the Displacement Pump

1.Lubricate the o-ring (110) and check that it is in place on the displacement rod (13). Orient the pump’s fluid outlet (R) to the air motor’s air inlet

(S) as was noted in step 2 under Disconnecting the Displacement Pump. Position the displace- ment pump (101) on the tie rods (103). See Fig 4.

2.Screw the locknuts (102) onto the tie rods (103) loosely. Screw the displacement rod (13) into the shaft of the air motor (108) until the pin holes in the rod and shaft align. Install the cotter pin (111).

3.Apply thread sealant to the pump fluid outlet (R) and the threads of the fluid hose. Mount the pump and reconnect all hoses. Reconnect the ground wire if it was disconnected during repair. Tighten the packing nut/wet-cup (2) so it is just snug -- no tighter. Fill the wet-cup with Graco Throat Seal Liquid or compatible solvent.

4.Tighten the tie rod locknuts (102) evenly, and torque as shown in Fig 4.

5.Start the pump and run it at about 40 psi (0.3 MPa, 2.8 bar) air pressure, to check that it is operating properly.

6.Check for fluid leakage at the packing nut/wet-cup

(2). Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on

page 8 before tightening the packing nut/wet-cup.
