Important: It is essential that the pump is
serviced in conditions of absolute cleanliness.
Place the pump on a pallet or other stable
surface above the ground. Ensure that the pump
cannot roll. It must be possible to place the pump
vertically with the shaft pointing downwards.
This can be done between two pallets or
between two boards on a pallet provided that
the distance is minimum 50 mm.
For a better understanding of the pump, please
see exploded view on page 12 and 13.
WARNING:
Do not reuse disassembled O-rings or shaft
seal as they might be damaged. Always use
new O-rings.
Note: It is essential that the pump is serviced
in conditions of absolute cleanliness.

3. Disassembling
the pump
1. Disconnect the pump and motor from the
system. Remove non-return valve and
connector from the pump.
2. Using a 10 mm combination wrench, unscrew
the four bolts from shaft seal flange.
If shaft seal flange is stuck, place two bolts in
screw holes in shaft seal flange to remove it.
4. Mount the M8 allen screw from the tool set in
the top of the shaft.
3. Remove ceramic ring from flange by gently
pushing it from the back of the sealing ring.
5. Wet the shaft and shaft seal with clean filtered
water.
7. Turn pump into vertical position with shaft
pointing downwards.
6. Carefully remove the shaft seal assembly
using the shaft seal extractor supplied in the
toolset. The extractor must fit underneath
the shaft seal. Press the arms of the extractor
together when turning the bolt.

8. Using a 13 mm combination wrench, remove
all the bolts on the mounting flange except
the three shown in picture 9.
WARNING:
Do not loosen the two screws keeping
swash plate in place.
10. Screw the eye bolt in the M8 hole in the
middle of the flange. Pull it straight upwards.
12. Remove by hand the pistons one by one.
Be careful not to scratch the pistons. Tilt the
retainer plate to horizontal position for easy
removal of pistons, if required.
WARNING:
Do not use any tools.
9. Unscrew the remaining three bolts. Turn each
bolt one round at the time to make sure that
the flange is removed as straight forward as
possible.
11. Swash plate must be placed so that its surface
is not scratched. For further disassembling of
swash plate, see page 10.
13. Remove the retainer plate and the retainer
ball.
Note: As the retainer ball is not attached to
the retainer plate, it might fall out.

14. Remove the retainer guide, the 4 springs and
the spring guide.
16. Place cylinder barrel upside down.
For further disassembling of cylinder barrel
and valve plate see page 11.
18. Remove, by hand, the two guide pins.
Note: The following operation is only
necessary if O-ring on port ange is to be
changed.
20. Remove the remaining screws in port flange
by using a 13 mm combination wrench.
21. Carefully separate house and port flange.
Ensure that guide pin for the positioning
house is not lost.
For further disassembling of flush valve, see
page 11.
15. Mount a 8 mm eye bolt in the cylinder barrel.
Pull straight upwards. A continuous lift will
elevate the cylinder barrel out of housing.
This can only be done if shaft seal is removed.
WARNING:
If the cylinder barrel is dropped or lowered
too fast into housing, the main bearing/
shaft bearing might be damaged. It is not
replaceable.
17. Remove the port plate by hand.
19. Place the pump horizontally.

4. Assembling the pump
1. Lubrication
• To prevent seizing-up, lubricate threads on
screws.
• O-rings inside pump may be lubricated only
with clean filtered water.
• O-rings for port flange, mounting flange
and black O-ring on flushing valve may be
lubricated with a small amount of grease.
• It is important to lubricate ALL parts to
be assembled with clean filtered water
(Especially all PEEK parts).
3. Insert guide pin for positioning housing on
port flange.
Ensure that two screw holes can be reached
from below.
5. Position housing aligning pin hole over
guide pin.
6. Gently press downwards. Be careful not to
squeeze O-ring. If O-ring is damaged, the
pump will leak.
7. Screw in at least two screws.
4. Mount O-ring.
2. Place port flange with O-ring pointing upwards.
IMPORTANT:
It is essential that the pump is serviced in
conditions of absolute cleanliness. All parts
must be absolute clean before mounting.
Note:
Place the pump on a pallet or other stable
surface above the ground. Ensure that
the pump cannot roll. It must be possible
to place the pump vertically with the
shaft pointing downwards. This can be
done between two pallets or between
two boards on a pallet provided that the
distance is minimum 50 mm.
WARNING:
Do not use silicone when assembling the
pump. Do not reuse dismantled O-rings;
they might be damaged. Always use new
O-rings.

8. Place housing horizontally. Screw in the rest of
the screws on port flange. Tighten screws to a
torque of 30 ± 2 Nm.
10. Position port plate by using the two guide pins.
Do not use force for this operation. 12. Screw eye bolt in cylinder barrel.
14. Unscrew M5 eye bolt.
15. Place the four springs and spring guide in
cylinder barrel. Springs must be positioned in
the holes.
13. Make sure there is enough free space for
the shaft beneath the housing. Gently lower
cylinder barrel into housing.
WARNING:
If cylinder barrel is dropped or lowered too
fast into housing, main bearing and shaft
bearing might be damaged. Replacement can
only be done at Danfoss, Nordborg.
9. Place pump vertically. Place 10.5 mm guide pins
in port flange.
11. Ensure port plate is fitted tightly against the
bottom.
IMPORTANT:
Lubricate port plate with clean ltered fresh
water.
If valve plate is disassembled from cylinder
barrel please see page 11 before continuing.

16. Retainer guide, retainer ball and retainer plate
must be mounted in the order indicated in
picture below.
18. Place retainer plate in cylinder barrel.
Note: If pistons are replaced, place new
pistons in clean ltered water for a couple of
minutes. Exercise piston shoes to make them
“run” smoother.
20. Lubricate piston shoes and swash plate with
clean filtered water.
22. Place three bolts in mounting flange.
Turn each bolt one round at a time to ensure
mounting flange is mounted as straight
downwards as possible. Be careful not to
squeeze O-ring.
21. Remember to place the guide pin in the
housing.
23. Screw in the rest of the bolts and cross tighten
all screws to a torque of 30 +/- 2 Nm.
Note: Screws for lifting eye are shorter than the
rest.
17. Ensure that retainer plate is oriented correctly,
ie with its slant surfaces pointing downwards.
19. Place pistons in retainingplate and cylinder
barrel. When pistons are placed, tilt retaining
plate for easier placement of swash plate.
If swash plate has been disassembled from
mounting flange, see page 10 for assembly of
swash plate.

using plastic tool provided.
WARNING:
Ensure that the face with rubber seal is
positioned against shoulder in shaft seal
ange.
30. Place shaft seal flange on shaft. Tighten the
bolts with a torque of 10Nm +/-2 Nm.
27. Use plastic assembly tool provided with
large diameter pointing downwards, to press
seal home against shoulder of stop for shaft seal.
29. Remove old O-ring and fit new one on shaft
seal flange.

5. Disassembling and
assembling of the
swash plate
WARNING:
Make sure that the surface on the swash plate
does not get any marks.
1. Place the swash plate upside down. Remove
the 2 bolts holding the swash plate. Remove
the mounting flange from the swash plate.
3. Change the O-ring on the mounting flange.
5. Mount the assembled part on the pump.
4. Mount the swash plate on the 2 guide pins.
Carefully by hand tilt the unit to horizontal
position and mount the 2 bolts which hold
the swash plate. Tighten the bolts with a
torque of 30 Nm +/-2 Nm. Finally check the
surface on the swash plate for any marks or
foreign particles.
2. Check that the O-ring and pin are in good
condition. (Provided with sealing set).
