Page 8: Storage Instructions
Storage Instructions Proper storage of your American Mfg Company pump will ensure that it is ready for service when needed. Follow the guidelines below that fit the requirements of your application. American Mfg Company pumps come from the factory without crankcase oil and are prepared for storage periods of up to six (6) months in proper environmental conditions. -
Page 9: Returning A Stored Pump To Operation
Once these steps have been completed, follow the normal pump start up procedures outlined in this manual. NOTE: American Mfg Company can factory prepare units for long term storage for a nominal fee if specified at the time of order. -
Page 10: Installation Guidelines
The AME0413HD pump must be mounted in a vertical position only. Secure the pump to the mounting surface using the holes provided in the pump base. The design of the AME0413HD pump allows the drive shaft to be rotated in either direction. -
Page 11: Discharge Piping Recommendations
American Mfg Company recommends that all piping be supported independently of the pump. By supporting the piping this way, vibrations are reduced and stress on the pump is kept to a minimum. The use of elbows, nipples, unions, or other fittings should be minimized. - Page 12 Never install valves in the relief valve discharge line or between the pump and relief valve. American Mfg Company recommends that the discharge be returned to the tank or drain, not back into the pump suction line.

Table 2 and that the oil has not been contaminated with water or other contaminants. NOTE: American Mfg Company pumps are shipped with no oil in the power frame and must be filled to the proper level with the proper grade of oil prior to start-up. -
Page 14: Lubrication Of Power End
Few factors can influence the life of a pump more than the power end lubricant (oil). Careful selection of the right type of oil for each particular application will help ensure optimal performance from an American Mfg Company pump. NOTE: Lubricant temperatures should not exceed 170° F (77° C) for continuous duty or 180° F (82° C) for intermittent duty applications. - Page 15 Recommended Lubricant Chart Oil Lubricant Synthetic Lubricant* Type of Ambient ISO Viscosity Manufacturer Brand ISO Viscosity Manufacturer Brand Service Temperature Grade (cSt@40 C) Viscosity Name Grade (cSt@40 C) Name Texaco ® Meropa 100 Shell ® Rotella T General 0 F to 100 F 10W-30 90.0@40 Shell ®...

Page 20: Service Procedures
Service Procedures American Mfg Company pumps are designed to simplify all required maintenance. The following sections illustrate step-by-step instructions for performing most common service procedures of a pump. Read each section before starting service work on the pump. Refer to figures 2 and 3 in section 8.0 for location of components. - Page 21 New piston cups will wear quickly if operated in cylinders with rough or grooved bores. Note: To provide maximum operational time between service, American Mfg Company recommends that all four piston cups, not just the one that shows signs of leakage, be replaced whenever piston service is required.
- Page 22 11. Place gaskets (37) and ceramic cylinder in counterbore of power frame. 12. Apply light oil or glycerin around the OD of the piston cups, then place them in the open (top) end of the cylinders. Use thumb to press the cups down firmly into the holder of each cylinder. 13.

Page 23: Replacing Suction And Discharge Valves
Replacing Suction and Discharge Valves 1. To access the suction and discharge valves, the valve cover clamps (29) must be removed from each side of the fluid cylinder. Remove the cap screws (30) and valve cover clamp from the each side of the fluid cylinder. - Page 24 5. Use the same procedure to remove the suction valve cage, valve disc-spring and valve seat, which are located directly under the discharge valve seat. Turning the valve seat on edge will help it go through the discharge valve seating area easier. Repeat for the remaining three (3) pump cylinders. 6.

Page 25: Servicing The Power End
Servicing the Power End CAUTION: Ensure that all pressure inside the pump fluid cylinder has been bled off before starting any service work. Ensure that the power to the pump is off. If applicable, it should be locked and tagged out. 1. - Page 26 7. Use snap ring pliers to remove the four crankshaft retainer snap rings (10) from each side of the pump. 8. Using a hammer and wood block (or rubber mallet) drive each crankshaft until one bearing (9, 12) on each shaft clears the power frame.
- Page 27 When piston cups are not installed the pump shaft should rotate freely. See Table 2 in section 6.2 for oil type and filling instructions. NOTE: The AME0413HD pump models require 1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil. Page 27 of 38...

Page 28: Fastener Torque Requirements
10.0 Fastener Torque Requirements NOTICE: No pump service procedure is complete without applying the proper fastener torque. Failure to properly tighten the pump bolts could cause the pump to leak or possibly allow the pump to fail. Always use a calibrated torque wrench during the installation of all critical fasteners listed in Table 5 below. -
Page 29: Critical Clearances
11.0 Critical Clearances When maintenance requiring disassembly of the power end is performed, the following clearances should be checked to see if they are within factory specification or within maximum allowable limits. Additional clearance is allowed for component wear. This additional clearance is a maximum of .002 inches of total diametral wear that can be added to the clearance values in Table 6. -
