8. Maintenance and Servicing
For the type of threadlocker used and the required
tightening torques, observe the table in the
exploded view.
8.1 Special tools required
The following special tools are required for
assembly:
- Fitting Sleeve (Tool-11)
- Pull-out tool size 2 (Ø20mm)
8.2 Suction and Discharge Valves
Screw out plugs (32) with a 12-point socket
wrench.
Check suction and discharge valves that are
under the plugs by taking out the valves with a
pair of at tongs and then taking them apart.
Examine valve plate (28) and valve seat (27).
Check O-rings (31/33) and replace if necessary.
Wet O-rings thinly with silicone grease or mineral
oil and insert carefully.
Tighten the plugs to the required torque.
Take care to reassemble in correct sequence.
8.3 Seals and Plunger pipe
Loosen screws (34) and remove valve casing (26)
by pulling it off over the plungers.
Remove seal adaptors (20) out of the valve casing
(26).
Remove drip-return ring (25), support ring (24),
grooved seal (23) and out of valve casing (26).
Remove grooved seal (23) out of seal adaptor
(20).
Wet new seals and O-rings thinly with silicone
grease or mineral oil and insert carefully.
Pay attention to the installation position of the
seals.
Check O-rings (21) and replace if necessary.
The grooved seal (23) or respectively
grooved seal pack (23) on the high-
pressure side is to be tted carefully into
the valve casing (26) using a tting
sleeve (Tool-11).
REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS - P435-5121 and P450-5121
Alternatively, the seal can also be carefully tted
into the valve casing using a screwdriver.
Under no circumstances must the seal surface in
the valve casing or the seal lip be damaged.
Check plunger surfaces (16).
Damaged surfaces cause hard wear on seals.
Lime deposits or similar on the plunger must be
removed.
Plunger surface must not be damaged in
the process.
In the case of lime deposits in the pump,
care must be taken that the drip-return
bores in parts (25) and (26) ensure trouble-free
drip-return.
If the plunger pipe (16B) is worn out, loosen
tension screw (16D) and remove together with
plunger pipe.
Check and clean contact surface on plunger (16A),
check oil scraper(16H), t new plunger pipe.
Cover thread of tension screw (16D) with a thin
coat of thread locker and tighten carefully to the
required torque.
Under no circumstances should thread-
locker get between the plunger pipe (16B)
and the centring neck on the plunger
(16A). Tensioning of the plunger pipe due
to eccentric tightening of the tensioning
screw or due to dirt or damage to the contact
surface can lead to breakage of the plunger pipe.
When assembling, tighten the screws (34) to the
required torque.
