The gauge should have a range twice the operating pressure.
2. Loosen nut (Item 19) and turn the knob (Item 20) counter
clockwiseuntil minimum spring tension.
3. Open the trigger gun, start the pump, and observe
pressure gauge reading.Slowly tighten the knobclockwise
until the desired pressure.
4. Close and open the trigger gun to check unloading
pressure and bypass function of the unloader valve.
The unloading pressure should not exceed operating
pressure more than 400 PSI.
5. Lock the setting by tightening the nut (item 19).
NOTE: Once the operating pressure is reached,
turning the knob clockwise will increase the
unloading pressure only.

VALVE SERVICE
1. Remove the plugs holding the valve assemblies.
2. Remove and discard o-rings from the plugs. Clean
plugs with solvent or soap and water. Allow to
dry.
3. Using a needle nose pliers, fingers, or hook
shaped tool, remove the valve assemblies from
the head. Remove and discard the o-rings from
the valve assemblies and/or head. Examine each
valve assembly and discard damaged parts. Refer
to the ”PUMP BREAKDOWN” for part numbers
of any replacement items.
4. Clean any accumulated debris from the valve
cavities and flush with water.
5. Wash the valve assemblies in clean water and
rinse. While still wet, test each valve assembly
by sucking on the valve seat. A properly sealing
valve will allow a good vacuum to be developed
and maintained, while a malfunctioning valve will
not. Good valve assemblies should be set aside
for installation in step 7.
6. Malfunctioning valve assemblies must
be replaced.
7. Lubricate a new o-ring with the pump crankcase
oil and install into valve cavity in the head. Install
a good valve assembly into the cavity as illus-
trated.
8. Lubricate a new o-ring with pump crankcase oil
and place on a plug cleaned in step 2 above.
9. Install a plug into the pump head. Tighten plug
by hand.
10. Torque the plug to the value indicated in the
“TORQUE” section of the pump specifications.
11. Repeat steps 7 through 11 for remaining
valve assemblies.
HEAD REMOVAL
1. Remove the cap screws holding the pump head
to the crankcase. A metric tool is required for
this step. Be careful not to lose the washer on
each cap screw.
2. Remove the head by rotating the crankshaft and
tapping the head away from the crankcase with
a soft mallet. Keep rear surface of the
head parallel to the front surface of the crankcase
to prevent binding on the plungers.
3. Once the head is removed, protect the plungers
from damage.

PLUNGER SERVICE
1. Remove pump head per “HEAD REMOVAL”.
2. Remove any packings and retainers left on the
plungers by pulling them straight off.
3. Examine each plunger, looking for a smooth
surface free of any scoring, cracks, or pitting.
Any defective plungers should be removed per
“PLUNGER REMOVAL”.
4. Discard and replace any defective plungers.
5. Reinstall the plunger per
“PLUNGER INSTALLATION”.
6. Reinstall head per “HEAD INSTALLATION”.
PLUNGER REMOVAL
NOTE: When the plunger screw is removed, it is
important to install new o-ring, anti-extrusion,
and copper washers.
1. Remove the plunger screw is removed, it is
important to install new o-ring, anti-extrusion,
and copper washers.
2. Remove the plunger retaining screw by turning
counterclockwise. Remove and replace copper
washer.
3. Remove and discard o-ring and anti-extrusion
ring from retainer screw.
4. Remove the plunger from the cross head and
examine it for cracks, scoring, or pitting.
5. Remove and discard copper flinger washer, clean
with solvent and allow to dry.
PLUNGER INSTALLATION
1. Install the copper flinger washer onto the cross
head.
2. Slide the plunger onto the crosshead.
3. Lubricate an o-ring with crankcase oil and install
into the groove on the plunger screw. Install the
anti-extrusion ring into the groove next to the o-
ring. Note: The o-ring should be nearest the
screw head and the anti-extrusion ring nearest
the threads.
4. Apply a drop of thread sealant to the threads of
the retainer screw.
5. Thread the plunger retainer screw into the cross
head making sure the copper flat washer is
installed onto the screw.
6. Torque the plunger retainer screw to the value
indicated in the torque section of the pump
specifications.
PACKING SERVICE
1. Remove the head per “PUMP HEAD REMOVAL”.
2. Remove any packings and female adapters left
on the plungers by pulling them straight off.
Insert proper packing extractor onto the
extractor hammer. Insert packing extractor and
tool through the packings and adapters
remaining in the head. Tighten the hammer and
remove the remaining items in the head. Remove
packings and o-rings from adapters. Discard the
o-rings and packings.
3. Clean the packing canities in the head and rinse
with clean water.
4. Clean exposed plungers. Clean male and female
adapters with soap and water and allow to dry.
5. Examine male and female adapters, discard worn
items. Trial fit the female adapters into the head

checking for binding or damage. Discard and
replace damaged items.
6. Lubricate packing cavities in the head and all
packings and adapters with pump crankcase oil.
7. Lay head on the bench with packing cavities up.
Install one male adapter in each cavity with the
flat side down.
8. Install one v-packing into each cavity with the
lips pointing down. A packing insertion too of
the appropriate size is recommended for this
operation.
9. Install the restop ring with the lips pointing
down.
10. Install a front female adapter into each cavity
with the flat side up. Make certain the adapter
goes all way down into the cavity.
11. Install the low pressure packing with the flat
side down.
12. Install the rear female adapter into each cavity
with the lips pointing down.
13. Lubricate o-rings with pump crankcase oil and
install one into the groove of each adapter.
14. Install one adapter and o-ring into each cavity
with the flat side up. Each adapter and o-ring
assembly should push into the head to
approximately 1/16 inch of being flush with the
surface of the head. Only hand pressure should
be required to perform this operation. This step
is VERY IMPORTANT.If the rear female adapter
does not fit almost flush, something is not
properly positioned. If a proper fit is obtained,
proceed to step 16. If a proper fit is not obtained,
remove the female adapters from the offending
cavity and reinstall items per steps 8 through
15.
15. Install head per “HEAD INSTALLATION”.
HEAD INSTALLATION
1. Prepare pump head per instructions in
“PACKING SERVICE”.
2. Rotate the plungers so the outer plungers are
projecting the same distance from the crankcase.
3. Lubricate the exposed plungers with crankcase
oil.
4. Start the head onto the plungers and using a
soft mallet, tap the head evenly until it comes in
