o-ring, backup ring, and copper bearing/gasket
washer. Replace these parts if necessary using
Plunger Repair Kit 243430.

seals.
5. Lightly grease the flinger (and oil seal if it is being
replaced) on plunger shaft. Then install plunger.
6. Lightly grease the retaining screw and outer end of
the plunger. Place washer, o-ring and backup ring

Drain and refill pump after 50 hours of opera-
tion.

To avoid damage to plunger or seals, keep manifold
properly aligned with the ceramic plungers when you
remove it.
