To replace the valve plates, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the crankcase cover. To do this, loosen the 3
hexagon socket screws F (3 mm spanner).
2. Loosen the four hex socket screws G (3 mm spanner).
3. Remove pressure ring H.
4. Remove upper pump head A.
Caution
Turn pump head A only to the right and up-
wards. This prevents the bellows from loosen-

O-rings C and valve plates B are freely accessible now.
5. The valve plates and O-rings can now be cleaned or re-
placed.
6. Clean valve seats and pump head with an adequate sol-
vent (e.g. alcohol) and use oil-free compressed air to re-
move dust particles from the parts.
After replacing or cleaning the valve plates and O-rings, follow these steps to re-assemble the pump:
1. Insert O-rings C into the grooves, and place valve plates B back into the cleaned valve seats. Make
sure that the valve plates are in the correct position.
