NOTE: When thread sealant is specified, use low strength (blue) Loctite.
1.Place the two halves of the piston (16) around the packing (15*) and snap them together. See Fig. 10.
2.Apply thread sealant to the piston rod (17) threads. Screw the rod through the piston and packings and into the special piston nut (12). Torque the nut to
3.With the lower pump housing (11) turned upside down, install the balls (5). Install the seats; place the vented seat (32) in the left side as viewed in Fig. 9 (housing has a label to identify the correct side), and the
