Introduction
Thank you for choosing Continental
Hydraulics PVX Vane Pumps for your
application.
PVX Pumps are designed to provide reliable
performance, and to be easily repaired
should the need arise. The procedures in
this repair manual will show you how to
repair virtually any part of your pump.
To assure that your repaired PVX Pump
performs reliably, please follow all steps
carefully. It is also very important that your
work area be kept clean to prevent
introducing contaminants into the pump.
In many cases, dirt or contaminants in the
hydraulic system lead to pump wear and
failure. If your PVX pump failed due to dirt or
contamination, be sure to thouroughly clean
and flush all parts of the system, paying
special attention to power unit reservoirs.
You may want to provide additional filtering
to keep your pumps and system operating at
peak performance.
NOTE: All procedures in this manual are
to be performed on a service bench. Do
not disassemble, or attempt to repair a
pump that is connected to a hydraulic
system.
CAUTION – Before attempting to remove
the PVX Vane Pump, be sure that all
pressure has been relieved from BOTH
SIDES of the system.
CAUTION – Before attempting to remove
the PVX Vane Pump, disconnect or lock off
power supply.
CAUTION – Before manually actuating any
PVX Vane Pump, be sure that any resulting
machine function will not endanger persons
or equipment.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
Each PVX Vane Pump has a Model Code stamped on
its nameplate. See Figure 1 for the location of the
Model Code.

Disassembly Procedures – Pumps
General
The disassembly procedure shown on the following
pages covers the Continental Hydraulics PVX-8 thru
75 variable volume vane pumps. The complete
disassembly procedures are similar for all pumps.
Any differences between the pump models are
described in additional notes.
The step number corresponds to the photo or
illustration of the same number.
Any dimensions or values stated will have the English
value first followed by the metric equivelent in
parenthesis.

As an aid for repairing the PVX pump, we recommend
building a wooden fixture. Please see the different
inside diameters for each pump size in the chart
below.
PVX Model 8 11/15 20/29/36 46/60/75
Diameter 3.38 (86) 4.13 (105) 5.13 (131) 6.13 (156)
Min. Height 2 (51) 2.63 (67) 3 (77) 3.88 (99)
2. Remove the four (4) socket hd cap screws on the
cover by using the appropriate size Allen wrench.
Figure 2.
Note: For disassembling the larger pumps, a great
amount of torque will be needed to loosen the cover
bolts. Therefore, we recommend loosening the bolts
before removing the pump from the motor-unit. Use a
socket or extend the length of the allen wrench and
make sure to clamp the pump securely and safely.
Wooden Fixture.
Disassembly Instructions
1. Remove the straight key from the keyway of the
shaft and place the pump side down into the wooden
fixture. See above for details for the fixture.

Disassembly Instructions – Pumps (continued)
3. Insert flat blade screwdriver into the slots provided
on each side of the cover. Pry the cover assembly
loose using equal force on each screwdriver. After
the cover is loose, carefully remove it by hand and set
aside in a clean area.
Figure 3.
4. In order to remove the port plate from the cover,
insert flat blade screwdriver into the slots between the
port plate and cover and pry the port plate loose.
After the port plate is loose, carefully remove it by
hand.
5. Remove the cover o-ring.
Figure 5.
6. Remove the vanes from the rotor by using a small
pair of tweezers or long needle nose pliers. Caution
should be taken not to nick or score the vanes,
pressure ring and rotor.
Figure 4.
NOTE: When disassembling a PVX-20 thru 75 pump,
please pay close attention not to loosen the ratio
valve cartridge that is located in the cover and the
ratio valve sealing assembly that is located on the
back of the cover port plate. The ratio valve cartridge
is as essential part of the pump and is not a wear
item, so it is not part of the repair kit.
Fig ure 6.
7. Remove the rotor shaft.
