Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install,
operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety
information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property
damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
Description
This plunger pump will pump up to 2.5 GPM
at 2500 PSI. It spins at 3400 RPM in a direct
drive system coupled with a gasoline engine.
The matching flange provides convenient
connection to most 3/4” shaft 1.1 - 5.5 HP
engines. The hollow shafted pump includes
a built-in pressure control valve, and
chemical injection system.
Special Note: Use only AR64545 for the XJ/SJ/BK/RMV Series pumps only: Do NOT change
oil. Use oil only to add if low. This oil is a specially formulated synthetic with special
additives for the demands of the XJ, SJ, BK and RMV pump series. No other oil is factory
approved for these pumps, and could result in pump failure.

General Safety Information
(continuted)
All positive displacement plunger
pumps must have a safety relief valve
installed on the discharge side of the
pump, this valve could be either an
unloader or regulator and must be of
adequate flow and pressure for the
pump. (This pump has an unloader
already built in).
Adequate protective guards must
cover all moving parts. Perform
routine maintenance on the pump and
components.
Use only components that are rated
for the flow and pressure of the pump,
this would include hose, fittings, safety
valves, spray guns etc.
Special Features
Wet End
Manifold: Forged Brass: Strength
and no porosity - long life. Higher
hydrostatic pressures - safety. Unloader:
Integral trap pressure, fixed chemical
injector. Simple repair using a cartridge
replacement kit. Bolts: Three bolts,
6mm grade 8.8.
Valves: Ultra Form Cages: Durable,
strong, and long life. Poppets and
Spring: 303 series stainless steel. Valve
Seat: Brass with an external sealing o-
ring on both inlet and discharge valves.
Valve Caps: Machined brass for greater
strength.
Packing and Plungers: Dual seal
system. High Pressure Packing and Low-Pressure Seals: “U” cup double
lip Buna-N for a good positive seat.
Support and Guides: Special anti-wear
plastic, 1-piece construction to assure
proper plunger alignment, maximize
packing and seal life and prevent
plunger wear and damage. Plungers:

O-ring squarely into
the bottom of the
manifold.
(See figure 11)
2. Insert the valve

and need periodic replacement.
Worn O-rings or damaged valves will
cause pressure loss and pulsations.
Servicing the Packings/Seals
Packings:
Disassembly:
To access the water seals for inspection or
replacement, you will first need to remove
the head of the pump.
NOTE: It is important to make note of
the order in which the components of the
packing stack are arranged and facing
during disassembly.

other pry bar. (See
figure 17)
3. Lift the head up and
away from the body.
NOTE: The packing
stacks will not always
stay in the head of the pump
when it is removed. Sometimes
one or more components of the
packing stack will come out of the
head and stay on the plunger.
4. To remove any
components that
stay on the plungers
simply twist back and
forth while pulling up.
(See figure 18)
5. Remove low pressure
seals insert screwdriver
under seal lip and lift
up. (See Figure 19)
6. Remove the piston guides
from the head by using a reverse
plier (preferably rubber coated)
inserted into the center of the
piston guide.
7. Use a back and forth twisting
motion while pulling up
(clockwise and counterclockwise).

1. Remove the head bolts.
2. Insert small pry bars between the
head and body at opposite corners
and apply pressure down on one pry
8. Another method is to use a twoprong slide hammer puller. Insert
the prongs into the piston guide
allowing the prongs to grab under
the support ring then use the

9. Remove the highpressure packing by
pulling straight out
with your finger.
(See Figure 21)
Assembly:
1. Install the high-pressure seal into
the head.
NOTE: It should fit snugly. The
packing support is part of the
valve cage.
2. Place the highpressure seal at an
angle and work it
into the cylinder.

many factors. Water seals should be
replaced when water leak or a loss
of performance is noticed. Prompt
replacement of worn seals will insure
peak operating performance and
trouble free operation. The water
seals and their respective components
sometimes referred to as the packing
stack, will vary slightly between
models. But the constant between
models is that the packing stack will
consist of the following items:
Piston Guides - which usually house
the low-pressure seal
Low-Pressure Seals
Piston Guide O-rings
High-Pressure Seals
Support Rings

2. Run a 50% solution of a RV or
non-toxic/biodegradable antifreeze
through the pump.
3. Flush the pump with fresh water
before the next use.
4. In freezing conditions failure to
do this may cause internal pump
damage.
5. For long periods of storage in nonfreezing areas the solution will keep
the seals and O-rings lubricated.
Oil - AR64545 - Container is 4.5 fluid
ounces. Specially formulated for the
demands of the 5XA48 pump. See
parts breakdown.
NOTE: No other oil is factory approved
for this pump. Using any other oil
may result in Drive End Damage.
Winter or Long Time Storage
1. Drain all of the water out of the
pump.
