General info

The maintenance and renewal intervals for the following will depend very much on the conditions under which the
sprayer will be operated and are therefore impossible to specify.

Pump valves and diaphragms renewal

Model 363 and 463 pumps:
Diaphragm pump overhaul kit (valves, seals, diaphragms etc.) can be
ordered. Detect whether the pump is a 363 or a 463 model - kit can
be ordered at following HARDI part No.:
Model 363: part No. 750342
Model 463: part No. 750343
Valves
Remove valve cover (1) before changing the valves (2) - note their
orientation so they are replaced correctly!
ATTENTION! A special valve with white flap (2A) is used at the
two upperside inlets. It has to be placed in the valve ope-
nings as shown. All others are the type with black flap. It is
recommended to use new gaskets (3) when changing or
checking the valves.
Diaphragms
Remove the diaphragm cover (4). The diaphragm (5) may then be
changed. If fluids have reached the crankcase, re-grease the pump
thoroughly. Also check that the drain hole at the bottom of the
pump is not blocked. Reassemble with the following torque setting.
Reassemble pump model 363/463 with the following torque setting.
Diaphragm cover: 90 Nm / 66.6 lbft
Diaphragm bolt: 90 Nm / 66.6 lbft
ATTENTION! Before tightening the 4 bolts for the diaphragm cover (B) the diaphragm must be positioned between
centre and top to ensure correct sealing between diaphragm pumphousing and diaphragm cover. Turn crank
shaft if necessary.
