(253)or (254).

CAUTION

Do not remove the exhaust flange (254) until rotary valve (250) has been removed from rotary valve housing (247).

3.Remove rotary valve (250) by pulling it out from assembly through the motor housing end of rotary valve housing (247).

4.Remove exhaust flange (254) and throttle valve assembly (260) by removing capscrews (255) and (257), respectively.

5.Remove each cylinder head (201) by removing four capscrews (200). Remove head gasket (209).

6.Pull cylinder liner (208) straight out.

7.Position piston (204) at top of its stroke. In this position, with cylinder liner pulled out in step 7, wrist pin (203) can be removed. Remove one retainer ring (205) from either side of piston (204). Push wrist pin (203) out by hand from one side. If wrist pin is too tight it is acceptable to carefully heat piston to 200° F (93° C) or less and then push wrist pin out.

NOTICE

If piston, wrist pin, connecting rod or cylinder liner are to be re-assembled, number each set. Also add radial alignment marks for each piston and cylinder liner to motor housing.

8.Remove remaining cylinder liners and pistons as described in steps 7 and 8. To remove crank assembly, all pistons and cylinder liners must be removed.

9.Crank assembly (231) can now be removed with oil slinger (230) by pulling straight out from motor housing (217). Use care while guiding connecting rods (206) through inside of motor housing.

Crankshaft Disassembly

1.Remove cotter pin (236) and pin nut (237).

2.Remove lock pin (235) by carefully driving it out of its location. Use care not to damage pin threads.

3.Pull crankshaft valve end (231) off crankshaft.

4.Remove connecting rod rings (234), connecting rod bushing (233), sleeve (232) and connecting rods (206). Record five connecting rod (206) numbers and foot directions so they can be re-installed in same order.

5.Oil slinger (230) does not have to be removed unless damaged. If removal is required, heating of five screws (229) may be necessary to loosen Loctite® connection.

Control Valve Removal and Replacement

Refer to Dwg. MHP2036 on page 50 or MHP0165 on page 54.

Replacement of K5B control valve with K5C2 control valve.

1.Turn off air supply to valve and disconnect main air supply line at motor.

2.Disconnect auxiliary air line(s) from fitting(s) located on control valve.

3.Remove muffler and/or exhaust piping.

4.Remove capscrews (1) and (255), and washers (96) from exhaust flange cap (254). Discard gasket (317).

5.Remove capscrews (257) and washers (96) from control valve.

6.Remove control valve from rotary housing and discard gasket (248).

7.Install gaskets (946) and control valve assembly (900) securing with capscrews (951) and washers (949).

8.Install gasket (970) and exhaust cap (971) to rotary housing on motor.

9.Install fittings (957), (958) and muffler (959) on control valve. These are optional parts.

K5C2 Control Valve Disassembly

Refer to Dwg. MHP2036 on page 50.

Handle Removal

It is not recommended to disassemble handle.

1.Carefully pry off plug (935).

2.Remove capscrew (901) and tablock washer (909).

NOTICE

Observe spring (937) connection during disassembly. This spring is under tension and is required to return handle to neutral position.

3.Carefully pull handle assembly (930) from reverse valve (943). Remove spring (937).

Reverse Valve Removal

1.Remove capscrews (938), (925) and washers (924) from seal bracket (939). Remove seal bracket from housing. Remove and discard ‘O’ rings (941) and (942).

2.Remove capscrews (901) and washers (902) from exhaust flange (955). Remove flange from housing. Remove and discard ‘O’ ring (942).

3.Move reverse valve (943) out exhaust flange side of housing until ball (916) is visible on reverse valve. Allow ball (916) to drop out of bushing (944) and remove ball (916).

4.Remove bushing (944) out exhaust flange side of housing.

NOTICE

Dowel pin (945) allows the bushing to be removed only from the exhaust flange side of housing. Ball (916) retains reverse valve (943) in bushing (944).

Do not remove reverse valve (943), bushing (944) and ball (916) at the same time, damage may occur to bushing.

Take care to not allow ball (916) to drop in motor. If this occurs it may be necessary to disassemble motor to retrieve ball (916).
