WARNING
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
follow the illustrated Pressure Relief
Procedure warning on page 12 when-
ever you are instructed to relieve pressure.
NOTE: Read the GENERAL REP AIR INFORMATION
on page 18 before doing this procedure.
NOTE: See Fig. 20 for Steps 1 to 15 unless otherwise
noted.
NOTE: Stop the sprayer at the bottom of its stroke to
get the crank (57) in its lowest position. If the crank
must be lowered manually, carefully rotate the blades
of the fan with a screwdriver.
1. Remove the displacement pump. See page 28.
2. Remove the connecting rod (9). Inspect it for wear
or damage. Replace the rod, if necessary.
3. Turn the displacement rod so the pin hole faces
straight back. Insert a hex key wrench through the
hole and unscrew the screw (8) located in the back
of the drive housing. See Fig. 19.

4. Remove the other two screws (8) and lockwashers
(7) from the top front of the drive housing (6).
5. Remove the screws (12), spacers (15), screws
(16) and the motor shield (1).
6. Remove the two screws (58) and lockwashers (7)
holding the motor to the drive housing.
7. Lightly tap the lower rear of the drive housing (6)
with a plastic mallet to loosen it from the front of
the motor. Then pull the drive housing straight off.

damage and replace it, if necessary. Be sure the
thrust bearings (57a and 57b) are in the proper
place on crankshaft.

the drive housing with high quality motor oil. Liber-
ally pack the roller bearing and gears with bearing

DO NOT use the drive housing screws (8) to try to
align or seat the housing to the motor; doing so will
not ensure proper alignment, but will cause prema-
ture bearing wear.
13. Install the screws (8) and lockwashers (7) on the
bearing housing and tighten evenly.
