NOTE: Use Loctite®609 on yoke (9) and rod (12) on
page 14, step 10 only. Use Loctite®242 or Perma-Loc®
115 on other threaded surfaces as required.
Before you begin, drain the oil out of the reciprocator as
follows: Place the reciprocator in a drain pan, push the
piston all the way up/in, then all the way down/out.
1. Place the adapter (43) in a vise. Remove the four
capscrews (46) and the base (33). Pull the bottom
cap (32) off the adapter. See FIG. 7. If needed,
replace the seals as described in Repair on page
12.
2. Remove the capscrew (3), nuts (36), and lockwash-
ers (37) on top of the reciprocator. (FIG. 7)
3. Loosen both nuts on the fluid tube (45). Use a
wrench to rotate the tube fittings (1, 58) to the side,
and remove the tube (45). Check the o-rings (1a,
58a) on the fittings, and replace them if they are
worn or damaged. Install plugs in the fittings to pre-
vent contamination. (FIG. 4)
4. Remove the capscrew (3), nuts (36) and lockwash-
ers (37) on top of the reciprocator. See FIG. 7.
NOTE: See FIG. 9 for steps 4 to 20, except where noted.
5. Tap on the bottom of the displacement rod (34) with
a plastic mallet to loosen the cylinder (25).
6. Grasp the spool valve assembly (31), and pull it off
the cylinder and tie rods (38). Pull the cylinder and
piston off the bottom cap (32). It is not necessary to
remove the tie rod from the bottom cap.
7. Lay the assembly on its side. Place a clean rag
around the yoke (9) to prevent losing the detent
balls. Slide the yoke sideways off the valve sleeve
(29) while holding the balls (7) and spring (6) in
place.
8. Slide the cylinder (25) off the displacement rod (34).
Hold the hex end of the displacement rod in a vise,
and use a spanner wrench in the pin holes of a pis-
ton (22) to screw it off the rod.
NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the outside of the dis-
placement rod or the inside of the cylinder.
9. Visually inspect the spring (21) if there is wear or
damage, proceed with this step. Remove the nut
(18), spring (21), and retainers (20) from the trip rod
(12). Reassemble with a retainer (20) on each end
of the new spring (21). You must thread the nut onto
the rod until it runs out of thread, so that it bottoms
out on the should of the rod. (FIG. 8)
NOTE: If you are re-using or reassembling any parts,
use a surface cleaner such as chlorinated solvent on the
threads, and blow with compressed air. A 1/4-28
UNF-2A tap can be used to remove adhesive from the
internal threads of the yoke (9).
Thread sealant and primer are required. See Reciproca-
tor Repair Notes on page 13 for specifications. Loctite®
609 is used only in STEP 10.
10. Apply fresh Loctite®609 thread sealant to the first
two or three internal threads of the yoke (9). Apply
primer to the external threads of the rod (12). Let
dry for three or four minutes. Assemble, torquing
screws to 54 to 56 in-lbs (6.1 to 6.3 N.m). Remove
excess sealant. Allow 24 hours to cure before oper-
ating the reciprocator.
