This document covers the instructions for disassembling and assembling the axial piston pumps
APP 11-13 and APP 16-22.
1. Introduction
Tools provided with toolset 180B4222:
• 10 mm combination wrench
• 13 mm combination wrench
• 6 mm allen key
• Adjustable pin wrench
• Stop for retainer plate
• Press bush for valve plate
• Extractor
• M8x20 mm allen screw
• Press bush (Plastic)
• M8 mm eye bolt
• M8 mm nut
• M8 x 70 mm screw
Place the pump on a pallet or other stable
surface above the ground. Ensure that the pump
cannot roll. It must be possible to place the pump
vertically with the shaft pointing downwards.
This can be done between two pallets or
between two boards on a pallet provided that
the distance is minimum 100 mm.
For a better understanding of the pump, please
see the exploded view on page 18, 19 and 20.
WARNING:
Do not reuse disassembled O-rings or shaft
seal as they might be damaged. Always use
new O-rings.
Important: It is essential that the pump is
serviced in conditions of absolute cleanliness.

2. Disassembling the
pump
1. Disconnect the pump from the rest of the
system.
2. Using a 10 mm combination wrench,
unscrew the four bolts from shaft seal
flange.
If shaft seal flange is stuck, screw in two
bolts in holes in the flange to remove it.
3. Remove ceramic ring from flange by
carefully pushing it from the back of the
sealing ring.
4. Mount the M8 allen screw from the tool
set in the top of the shaft.
5. Wet the shaft and shaft seal with clean
filtered water.
7. Turn pump into vertical position with shaft
pointing downwards. Ensure minimum
100 mm (3,94 inch) free space for the shaft.
6. Carefully remove the shaft seal assembly
using the shaft seal extractor supplied in
the toolset. The extractor must fit
underneath the shaft seal. Press the arms
of the extractor together when turning the
bolt.
8. Using a 13 mm combination wrench,
remove all the bolts on the mounting
flange except the three shown in the next
picture.
WARNING:
Do not loosen the two screws keeping
swash plate in place.

9. Unscrew the remaining three bolts. Turn
each bolt one round at the time to make
sure that the flange is removed as straight
forward as possible.
10. Screw the eye bolt in the M8 hole in the
middle of the flange. Pull it straight
upwards.
11. Swash plate must be placed so that its
surface is not scratched. For further
disassembling of swash plate, see page 11.
13. Remove the retainer plate and the retainer
ball.
Note: As the retainer ball is not attached
to the retainer plate, it might fall out.
12. Remove by hand the pistons one by one.
Be careful not to scratch the pistons. Tilt
the retainer plate to horizontal position for
easy removal of pistons, if required.
WARNING:
Do not use any tools.
14. Remove the retainer guide, the 4 springs
and the spring guide.

3. Assembling the pump
WARNING:
Do not use silicone when assembling the
pump. Do not reuse disassembled O-rings;
they might be damaged. Always use new
O-rings.
Note:
Place the pump on a pallet or other stable
surface above the ground. Ensure that
the pump cannot roll. It must be possible
to place the pump vertically with the
shaft pointing downwards. This can be
done between two pallets or between
two boards on a pallet provided that the
distance is minimum 50 mm.
Important:
It is essential that the pump is serviced in
conditions of absolute cleanliness. All parts
must be absolute clean before mounting.
1. Lubrication:
• To prevent seizing-up, lubricate all
threads with PTFE lubrication type.
• O-rings inside pump may be lubricated
only with clean filtered water.
• O-rings for port flange, mounting flange
and flushing valve must be lubricated.
• It is important to lubricate ALL parts to
be assembled with clean filtered water
(Especially all PEEK parts).
3. Insert guide pin for positioning housing
on port flange. Ensure that two screw
holes can be reached from below.
2. Place port flange with O-ring pointing
upwards.
4. Mount the O-ring. Remember lubrication
of the O-ring with clean filtered water.
5. Position housing by aligning pin hole over
guide pin.
6. Gently press downwards. Be careful not to
squeeze the O-ring. If O-ring is damaged
the pump will leak.

7. Screw in at least two screws from below.
8. Place housing horizontally. Screw in the
rest of the screws on port flange. Tighten
screws according to exploded view.
9. Place pump vertically. Place 10.5 mm pins
in port flange.
10. Position port plate by using the two pins.
Do not use force for this operation.
13. Make sure there is enough free space for
the shaft beneath the housing. Minimum
100 mm (3,94 inch). Carefully lower
cylinder barrel into housing.
11. Ensure port plate is fitted tightly against
the bottom.
IMPORTANT:
Lubricate port plate with clean filtered
fresh water.
If valve plate is disassembled from
cylinder barrel please see page 12
before continuing.
12. Screw eye bolt in cylinder barrel.
WARNING!
If cylinder barrel is dropped or lowered
too fast into housing, main bearing and
shaft bearing might be damaged.
Replacement can only be done at
Danfoss, Nordborg.

15. Place the 7 springs and 3 pins in cylinder
barrel. The pin holes are assymetric.
17. Place retainer plate in cylinder barrel.
Note:(Remember to lubricate the
retainer plate and cylinder bushings
with clean filtered water).
16. Place the spring guide and the retainer
guide on the cylinder shaft.
18. Ensure that retainer plate is oriented
correctly, i.e. with its slant surfaces
pointing downwards.
19. Place pistons in retainer plate and
cylinder barrel, When pistons are placed,
tilt retainer plate for easier placement of
swash plate.
If swash plate has been disassembled from
mounting flange, see page 11 for assembly
of swash plate.
20. Place the guide pin in the housing.
21. Lubricate piston shoes and swash plate
with clean filtered water.
22. Mount assembled swash plate, using the
guide pin.
