For Series QP15 and QP20, lightly rap the motor end of the Gear
Case on a wooden work bench top to remove the three Planet
Gears (26), the Rotor Pinion (27), the Planet Gear Head
Assembly (25) and the Planet Gear Head Spacer (28).
If the Spindle Assembly is being removed or replaced, the
Spindle Bearing and Spindle Cap Bearing may be damaged
during the removal process. We recommend that new
replacement bearings be available for installation when the tool
is reassembled.
3. Stand the Gear Case on the table of an arbor press with the
threaded end of the Spindle Assembly (29) upward. Using a rod
slightly smaller than the spindle shaft, press the Spindle Assembly
out of the Spindle Cap Bearing (34) and Spindle Bearing (31).
4. Insert a long, small drift through the central opening of the
Spindle Bearing and push the Bearing Spacer (32) o to one side.
Using a hammer with the drift, tap the inner ring of the Spindle
Cap Bearing. Repeat the process at several points until the
Bearing is free from the Gear Case. Remove the Bearing Spacer
from the Gear Case.
5. Using snap ring pliers, remove the two Bearing Stops (33).
6. Stand the Gear Case on the table of an arbor press with the
threaded end upward, and press the Spindle Bearing out of the
Gear Case.
Disassembly of the Motor
Using snap ring pliers, remove the Rear End Plate Assembly
Retainer (12) and slide the Rear End Plate Assembly (11) o the
rear hub of the Rotor.
Use a piece of leather or other protective material to grasp the
splined shaft of the Rotor and pull the assembled Rotor out of the
1.

Cylinder (13).
Remove the Vanes (16) from the Rotor.
Support the Front End Plate Assembly (17), as near the rotor body
as possible, on the table of an arbor press and press the Rotor
from the Front Rotor Bearing (19). Remove the Bearing from the
Front End Plate.
Disassembly of the Throttle Mechanism
Grasp the hex of the Inlet Bushing Assembly (4) in leather-covered
or copper-covered vise jaws with the end having the Inlet Bushing
Screen (5) downward.
Remove the Inlet Bushing Seal (8F) from the Inlet Bushing
Assembly.
Using snap ring pliers, remove the Valve Seat Retainer (8E) and the
Valve Seat Support (8D) from the Bushing.
Using a hooked tool without sharp edges or points, remove the
Throttle Valve Seat (8C) from inside the Bushing.
Remove the Throttle Valve (8A) and Throttle Valve Spring (8B) from
the Bushing.
If the Inlet Bushing Screen is dirty, ush it clean using a clean,
suitable, cleaning solution in a well ventilated area. Remove
the Screen only if it is damaged or as a last resort and have
a replacement Screen on hand whenever removal becomes
necessary. Use the eraser end of a pencil to push it out the inlet
end of the Bushing.
If the Inlet Bushing Bezel (6) needs replacement, slightly spread
the Inlet Bushing Retainer (7) and push it o the side of the
Bushing. Slide the Bezel o the Bushing.
To remove the Trigger Assembly (3A), insert a long probe with a
small hook into the opening for the Inlet Bushing Assembly in the
Motor Housing (1) and hooking the Trigger Retainer (3B), pull the
Retainer out of the Housing. Pull the Trigger out of the Housing.

Assembly
General Instructions
Always press on the inner ring of a ball-type bearing when
installing the bearing on a shaft.
Always press on the outer ring of a ball-type bearing when
pressing the bearing into a bearing recess.
Whenever grasping a tool or part in a vise, always use leather-
covered or copper-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of
the part and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of
threaded members and housings.
Except for bearings, always clean every part and wipe every part
with a thin lm of oil before installation.
Apply o-ring lubricant to all O-rings before nal assembly.
Check every bearing for roughness. If an open bearing must be
cleaned, wash it thoroughly in a clean, suitable cleaning solution
and dry with a clean cloth. Sealed or shielded bearings should
never be cleaned. Work grease into every open bearing before
installation.
Assembly of the Throttle Mechanism
If the Trigger Assembly (3A) was removed, insert the shaft of the
Trigger into the Motor Housing (1) and push it all the way into the
trigger recess in the Housing until it stops.
Using long reach needle nose pliers to hold the Trigger
Retainer (3B), insert the Retainer into the inlet bushing opening
and install the straight leg of the Retainer in the hole through the
shaft of the Trigger.
Install the Inlet Bushing Bezel (6), convex end leading, onto the
Inlet Bushing Assembly (4). Bring the convex end into contact
with the hex at the inlet end of the Bushing.
Spread the opening slightly on the Inlet Bushing Retainer (7) and
install it around the Inlet Bushing with the tab end nearest to the
bushing hex and against the Bezel.
Grasp the hex of the Inlet Bushing in leather-covered or copper-

covered vise jaws with the throttle valve opening upward.
Insert the Throttle Valve Spring (8B), large end leading, followed
by the Throttle Valve (8A), long stem end trailing, into the valve
opening.
Place the Throttle Valve Seat (8C) followed by the Valve Seat
Support (8D) in the opening against the Valve.
Using snap ring pliers while compressing the Throttle Valve
Spring and moving the Seat and Support inward, capture the
components by installing the Valve Seat Retainer (8E) in the
Bushing internal groove.
Moisten the Inlet Bushing Seal (8F) with o-ring lubricant and
install it on the exterior of the Inlet Bushing.
Remove the assembled Bushing from the vise jaws. If the Inlet
Bushing Screen was removed, use a at faced dowel slightly less
than 1/2” in diameter to push the new Screen into the opening at
the hex end of the Bushing.
Assembly of the Motor
Place the Front End Plate (17) on the splined shaft of the
Rotor (15) with the bearing recess away from the rotor body.
Place the Front Rotor Bearing (19) onto the shaft and using a
sleeve or piece of tubing that contacts the inner race of the
Bearing, press the Bearing onto the shaft until the Front End Plate
nearly contacts the rotor body.
In the following step, the measurement must be made at the end
corner of the large rotor body.
3. The clearance between the Front End Plate and Rotor is critical.
While pressing down with your nger on the outer edge of the
Front End Plate on the bearing side, insert a 0.004” (0.1 mm) feeler
gauge between the face of the rotor body and the face of the End
Plate at a point that is 180 degrees from where the pressure is
