Displacement Pump Repair

3.Tighten the nut (110) onto the piston valve (108) to 2 in-lb (0.23 N.m). See Fig. 20.

NOTE: Note the alignment of the piston (108) to the nut (110). Maintain this alignment through Step 8.

4.Clean all residue from the piston valve threads. Apply one strip of adhesive, supplied, to the threads.

5.Place the ball (109*) on the piston valve (108). See Fig. 20.

CAUTION

Step 6, tightening the piston valve into the rod, is critical. Follow the procedure carefully to avoid damaging the packings by overtightening.

6. Hand tighten the valve into the piston rod just until

the nut (110) contacts the rod. See Fig. 21.

9.Stack these parts one at a time into the top of the manifold (101): the male gland (106*), alternately three plastic packings (104*) with two leather pack- ings (105*), and then the female gland (103*). See Fig. 23.

10.Install the packing nut (102) and plug (124), but leave loose for now. See Fig. 23.
