wear or damage. Replace parts as needed.
4. Reassemble the valve. Place the ball stop pin (14) in
the same holes from which it was removed. If you
want to change the fluid flow through the pump,
place the pin in a different set of holes. Refer to
Check Valve Adjustment, page 6.
5. If no further service is needed, reinstall the intake
valve on the pump. Torque the hex nuts (1) evenly to
50-60 ft-lb (68-81 N•m), using a criss-cross tighten-
ing pattern.

8. Install the piston guide (21). Install the four screws
(12) through the piston assembly and screw them
into the displacement rod (22). Torque the screws
evenly to 30-40 ft-lb (41-54 N•m), using a
criss-cross tightening pattern.
