Piston Seal Replacement
Use the following instructions to replace piston seal in the piston pump (see Figure 4-17).
1. Remove the pump bracket assembly from the chassis. See "Pump Bracket" on page
4-16.
2. Remove the piston pump head along with the Clippard valves. See Figure 4-16. The
Clippard valves can stay attached to the pump head.
a. Use a pair of soft jaw channel lock pliers to loosen (counterclockwise) the
atmospheric solenoid valve (). Once loose, turn by hand to remove. Be careful
not to lose the poppet and spring from inside the valve seat.
b. Remove the four screws () and gently pull off the pump head.
3. Remove the four screws () that secure the crank cover () on the rear portion of
the pump cylinder () to gain access to the piston crank ().
4. Rotate the piston crank () so that the piston is at the top of piston shaft. With a
marker, mark the alignment position on the piston crank () and also which hole on
the crank it was installed in. This will aid with reinstallation.
5. Mark the outer face of the connecting rod () with an orientation marking. Make
sure this mark is showing when reinstalled.
6. Remove the crank screw (). Use a pair of rubber gripped pliers to hold the piston
crank () in place while turning the screw.
7. Push the piston out of the top of the cylinder.
8. Remove the o-ring from the piston.
9. Clean the piston with alcohol.
10. Lubricate a new o-ring with super-lube (Synco item number 21030). Use of this
grease is important.
11. Install the new o-ring.
12. Lubricate the piston wrist pin where the crank screw () goes through with film of
super-lube. Do not use too much grease.
13. Push the piston () into cylinder () as follows:
a. Place the round chamfered piston installation guide (), part of kit 4237107, on
top of the cylinder ().
b. Insert the piston () into the piston installation guide () then use a soft tip tool
to push the piston into the cylinder (). The chamfered walls of the piston
installation guide will aid with the installation and prevent the seal from
becoming damaged when installed.
