Pressure Relief Procedure
Pressure Relief
Procedure
System pressure can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from
splashing or moving parts.
1. Set START/STOP switch to STOP.
2. Push in SECURE DISABLE switch.
3. Open the back pressure regulator and all fluid drain
valves in the system, having a waste container
ready to catch drainage. Leave open until you are
ready to pressurize system again.
4. Check that pressure gauges on fluid supply and
return lines read zero. If gauges do not read zero,
determine cause and carefully relieve pressure by
VERY SLOWLY loosening a fitting. Clear obstruction before pressurizing system again.

Kit Installation
Disassembly
1. Jog the motor to bring the pump on the side being
repaired to the bottom of its stroke. This provides
access to the coupling nut (14).
2. Relieve pressure, page 2.
3. Shut off electrical power to the unit.
4. Remove two screws (12) and the cover. F
shows the cover (32) on the stand side; the motor
side cover is (21).
5. Place a clean rag over the top of the slider cylinder
(2) to prevent debris from falling into the slider
assembly during disassembly.
9
Place clean rag over slider cylinder (2).
10
Hold slider piston (9) flats with 3/4 in. wrench, and brace
against tie rod (3).

NOTE: Drive Linkage Rebuild Kit 15H873 includes parts
to rebuild one drive linkage assembly. Order two kits to
rebuild both drive linkage assemblies. Parts included in
the kit are marked with an asterisk, for example (5*).
Use all the new parts in the kit.

Kit Installation
6. Place a 3/4 in. wrench on the slider piston (9) flats
(just above the coupling nut), to keep the slider piston/connecting rod from turning when you are loosening the coupling nut (14). Orient the wrench so it
is braced against one of the tie rods (3). Applying
excessive force to the slider piston/connecting rod
can shorten the life of the lower pin bearing.
7. Using a 1-5/8 in. open-end wrench, unscrew the
coupling nut (14) from the slider piston (9) and let it
slide down onto the pump piston rod. Be careful not
to lose the collars (13).
8. See F
IG. 2. Using a 1/2 in. hex driver, unscrew the
two cap screws (5). Remove the crank arm cap (38)
and key (39). If necessary, use a plastic hammer to
break these parts loose.

Place clean rag over slider cylinder (2).

Apply antiseize lubricant to screw (5) threads. Torque
key-side screw to 210-230 ft-lb (283-310 N•m) first, then
torque gap side screw to 210-230 ft-lb (283-310 N•m).

10. Pull the crank arm/connecting rod/slider piston
assembly (CR) up and out of the cylinder.
11. Remove the old bearings (8).

5. Position the crank arm (4) to engage the output
shaft (OS), and rotate it to the bottom of the output
shaft.
6. Place a clean rag over the top of the slider cylinder
(2) to prevent debris from falling into the slider
assembly during reassembly.
7. See F
IG. 6. Apply antiseize lubricant to the threads
of the cap screws (5*). Install the key (39), crank
arm cap (38), and cap screws (5*), oriented as
shown. While the gap-side screw is still loose,
torque the key-side screw to 210-230 ft-lb (283-310
N•m). Then torque the gap-side screw to 210-230
ft-lb (283-310 N•m).

2. Lubricate the lower bearing on the connecting rod
with 1 shot (1 cc) of 107411 Grease or equivalent,
using grease zerk (GZ). The top bearing is prelubricated and does not require grease at installation.
3. See F
IG. 5. Install the two new bearings (8*) on the
slider piston (9*). The joints between the bearings
must align with the pin hole (PH) in the slider piston.

9. Place a 3/4 in. wrench on the flats of the slider piston (9*), to keep it from turning when you are tightening the coupling nut (14). Orient the wrench so it
is braced against one of the tie rods (3) or the pump
stand. Tighten the coupling nut (14) onto the slider
piston (9*) and torque to 75-80 ft-lb (102-108 N•m).
10. Remove the rag. Reinstall the cover (32 or 21) and
