important that the outside diameter of the actuator
seal should be clamped evenly.
5.1.4 Actuator Neck Seal
Another reason for the pump set failing to prime
efficiently or to handle the expected volume of air could
be failure of the actuator neck seal.
To investigate and service, proceed as follows:
1. Remove outer pump body complete with delivery
valve assembly, and actuator with actuator seal as
directed in Section 0 Seal Instructions 1 and 2.
2. Release hose clip allowing air hose to be
disconnected from suction valve box Screws
should then be removed, leaving washers in inner
pump body.
3. The inner pump body can now be pulled by hand
from the air pump bearing housing, if necessary
twisting to overcome any tendency of the seal to
stick to drive rod. Remove and discard failed seal.
4. Smear new actuator neck seal with soft soap to
assist fitting, position in inner pump body and push
both components over drive rod using assembly
tool (Part No. 0015102000) smeared with soft
soap. Check that washers are in place, and fit
and fully tighten screws. The heads of these
screws should be fully contained within the
recesses in the inner pump body.
Reassemble remaining components in
accordance with Section 0 Seal Instructions 8 to 12,
inclusively.
5.1.5 Linear Bearing and Seals
If oil leaks from ports in air pump pedestal it is
probable that seals are excessively worn. Such a
condition may also indicate that pedestal bush should
be replaced.
To inspect and service, proceed as follows:
1. Drain oil from air pump bearing housing by
removing drain plug and sealing washer.
2. Remove air pump components in accordance with
Section 0 Seal Instructions 1 and 0, and to Section
0 Seal Instructions 2 and 3.
3. Being careful not to damage the flat sealing faces
of air pump pedestal, carefully withdraw pedestal
complete with its bearing and sealing components
from the air pump bearing housing and drive rod.
4. Carefully remove circlip and withdraw seal carrier
complete with seal. Remove seal from housing.
Use bearing drift, Service Tool (0015168000) to
push out linear bearing. Examine condition of
wiper and distributor seals together with bearing.
If either are worn or damaged, we recommend
that new seals and bearing should be ordered and
fitted in accordance with the following instructions.
5. To replace linear bearing carefully remove circlip
allowing seal components to be pushed from
pedestal with blunt punch or drift from bearing
end. The drive rod bearing can now be removed
using bearing drift (Part No. 0015168000) and the
new component pressed into position so that one
face is flush with base of bearing location within
the pedestal.
6. Ensure that seal components are assembled in
accordance with the following instructions.
7. The wiper seal is first assembled to the seal
carrier using wiper seal insertion tool (Part No.
0010103000) with wiper lip uppermost.
8. Then lubricate seal housing and press in internal
distributor seal with lip nearest bearing. Push into
place with seal carrier together with wiper seal and
the whole pressed into place with the wiper seal
insertion tool (Part No. 0010103000). Care must
be exercised when replacing circlip to ensure that
the lip of the wiper seal is not damaged by the
hand tools used. Refer to Section 6.4.
9. Before replacing air pump pedestal assembly,
check condition of drive rod, particularly if new
bush has been fitted. If surface is significantly
worn, the drive rod should be replaced in
accordance with instructions given in Section 0.
10. Assembly tool (Part No. 0015101000) must be
used when replacing bearing/seal housing
assembly to ensure that the wiping edges of the
seals are not damaged. The drive rod must be
smeared with clean oil to assist this procedure.
See Section 6.5. Gasket must be renewed.
Always use a component supplied by Selwood
Ltd. Ensure that ports in the air pump pedestal
are in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
Reassemble remaining pump components in
accordance with Section 0 Seal Instruction 4 and 0
5.1.3 Actuator Seal Instructions 8 to 12, inclusively.
Replace drain plug together with sealing
washer and refill bearing housing with clean oil to
maximum level on dipstick plug. Refer to Section 3.1
Pump Lubrication for details of the oil required for the
air pump bearing housing.
5.1.6 Air Pump Mechanism
Should actuator fail to reciprocate when the pump is
running, or if other abnormal conditions are suspected,
the air pump mechanism should be immediately
inspected to minimise the risk of consequential
damage.
Proceed as follows:
1. Drain oil from air pump bearing housing and
flushing chamber by removing drain plug and
sealing washer.
2. Remove air pump components in accordance with
Section 0 Seal and Section 0 Seal Instructions 2
and 3 (discard actuator neck seal if it has failed).
3. Being careful not to damage the flat sealing faces
of pedestal carefully withdraw pedestal complete
with bearing and sealing components from air
pump bearing housing and drive rod.
4. Carry out Section 0 Shaft removal Instructions 8 to
18, inclusively.
5. Carefully remove drive rod and connecting rod. If
second priming pump is fitted, repeat these
operations, ensuring that the connecting rod,
fulcrum pin and drive rod components are kept as
