DISPLACEMENT PUMP SERVICE
WARNING
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers or other body parts. When the pump is operating, the priming piston (located at the pump intake) and the air motor piston (located behind the air motor shield) move. Therefore, NEVER operate the pump with the air motor shield removed, and keep your fingers and hands away from the priming piston.
Before attempting to clear an obstruction from the priming piston or service the pump, follow the Pres-
sure Relief Procedure Warning on page 7 to pre-
vent the pump from starting accidentally.
Before You Start (All Models)
1.Repair Kit
2.To reduce down time, keep spare parts on hand. Recommended spare parts are indicated in the parts list with a double asterisk, for example (41**).
3.The gland/packing stacks (64*, 65*) are preas- sembled. Do not disassemble the stacks when in- stalling them in the pump.
4.For air motor service and parts information, refer to manual
5.If possible, flush the pump before service with a com- patible solvent. Follow the Pressure Relief Proce- dure Warning on page 7. Stop the pump at the bot- tom of its stroke.
6.Disconnect all the hoses. Remove the pump from its mounting and clamp it in a vise.

Disassembly
NOTE: Refer to Fig 2 and the parts drawing.
1.Remove the cotter pin (41). Unscrew the coupling nut (50) and the three tie rod locknuts (44). Pull the displacement pump (2) off the air motor (1).
2.Remove the cotter pin (42). Loosen the locknut (45). Unscrew the connecting rod (53) from the upper cap
3.Insert a 1/4 in. (6 mm) diameter rod in the holes of the packing
(37)clears the intake valve housing (28). Remove the nut (6), priming piston (37), valve plate (36) and plate guide (31).
4.Unscrew the four tie bolts (8) and pull the intake valve housing (28) off the pump. Pull the priming rod (32) and displacement rod (18) out of the bottom of the cylinder (39). Remove the pin (7) and unscrew the priming rod (32) from the connecting rod (20).

5.Pull the cylinder (39) down out of the outlet housing (26). Inspect the inner surface of the cylinder and the outer surface of the displacement rod (18) for scratches or scoring, which can cause premature packing wear and leaking. To check, run a finger over the surface or hold the part up to the light at an angle.
6.Disassemble the intake valve (3). Clean and inspect all parts, replacing as necessary . Check the intake valve seat (30) for nicks or damage.
7.Unscrew the upper cap (33) from the connecting rod (20). Pull the displacement rod (18) off the lower cap (19), and remove the piston assembly from the con- necting rod. Disassemble the piston.
8.Unscrew the packing
9.Clean and inspect all parts, replacing as necessary.
Reassembly
NOTE: Refer to Fig 2 and the parts drawing during the following procedure.
1.See Detail A of Fig 2. The gland/packing stack (64*) for the throat is preassembled. Do not disassemble the stack. Lubricate the gland/packing stack and in- stall it into the outlet housing (26). Be sure the lips of the
2.See Detail B of Fig 2. Install the two bearings (35*) and the
3.Install the piston (38), valve plate (34), and lower cap
(19)on the connecting rod (20).
4.Insert the connecting rod (20) into the displacement rod (18) so the lower cap (19) fits into the bottom of the displacement rod. Screw the top cap (33) onto the connecting rod (20) until it is tight against the top of the displacement rod (18).
5.Install one copper gasket (27*) in the outlet housing
(26).Screw the priming rod (32) into the connecting rod (20) and secure with the pin (7). Push the dis- placement rod (18) and priming rod (32) up into the outlet housing (26) so the top of the displacement rod just protrudes from the packing
Lubricate the priming rod (32).
6.Install the cylinder (39) in the outlet housing (26), be- ing careful not to scratch the polished inner surface of the cylinder.
7.See Detail C of Fig 2. Slide the intake valve gland/ packing stack (65*) into the intake valve seal housing
(3).Do not disassemble the stack. Be sure the lips of the
8.Install two copper gaskets (27*) on the intake valve stop (29). Install the stop in the intake valve housing
