GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 15 CYLINDERS Replace if there are ripples at each end of stroke area (Fig. 15.1), or if there is scoring in the cylinder. Note: A combination of cylinder wear and a piston wear will decrease O-Ring squeeze.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 18 CHECK VALVE CAPS Replace if clearance between the cap and Check Valve is too much. Note: Take a check valve and slide it into a cap. Check for side to side play and make sure the check valve goes in and out freely.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 21 DISCHARGE BLOCK Replace if seats are not flush with block surface Note: Put seats in block. Take a straight edge and lay it across the seats. They should be close to flush with the block surface (Fig.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 24 PILOT PISTON BEARING Replace If there is a groove in the O-Ring surface NOTE: Check inside wall for any groove (Fig. 24.1) Figure 24.1 STEP 25 PISTON ROD GLAND Replace if the surface where the Backup sits shows inward wear.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 26 PILOT PISTON VALVE HOUSING REPAIR If you are working on a newer pump, the Port plates will be replaceable (Fig. 26.1). If you are working on an old style pump, the surfaces on the Port plates will need to be refinished (Fig.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide INSPECTING PARTS STEP 27 PILOT PISTON ASSEMBLY Insert the Pilot Piston Seal Retainer with the bevel side facing inside the pump. Push them in until you feel a mechanical stop (Fig. 27.1). Reassemble the Pilot Piston Bearings using the two O-Rings and three backups (Fig.
GLYCOL PUMP Repair Guide ASSEMBLY Place the Pilot Piston Cap by bolting it to the body. (Fig. 27.5) Insert the Pilot Piston Rod in the other side of the Pilot Piston Body (Fig. 27.6) Place the other Pilot Piston Cap in the other side by bolting it to the body.
