MAINTENANCE

22.  Attach a new bearing cover gasket (26) and inboard 

bearing cover (27A) to the inboard head. Install the 
outboard bearing cover (27) and a new gasket to the 
outboard head. Make sure the grease fittings (76) on 
the bearing covers are accessible. Install and torque 
bearing cover capscrews (28) to 30 lbs ft (40.7 Nm). 

23.  On 2" models, slide the dirt shield (123A) over the shaft 

and push it firmly against the inboard bearing cover. 

24.  RELIEF VALVE ASSEMBLY 

a.  Insert the valve (9) into the relief valve bore of the 

casing with the fluted end inward. 

b.  Install the relief valve spring (8) and spring guide (7) 

against the valve. 

c.  Attach a new relief valve O-ring (10) and the valve 

cover (4) on the cylinder. 

d.  Screw the relief valve adjusting screw (2) with locknut 

(3) into the valve cover (4) until it makes contact with 
the spring guide (7). 

e.  After the relief valve has been adjusted, tighten the 

Locknut (3) and install the relief valve cap (1) and O-
ring (88) 

NOTICE: 

The relief valve setting MUST be tested and adjusted 
more precisely before putting the pump into service.  
Refer to "Relief Valve Setting and Adjustment" 

 

 

Operation without guards in place can 
cause serious personal injury, major 
property damage, or death. 

 

Do not operate 

without guard in 

place. 

25.  Reinstall coupling, shaft key, and coupling guards.  

26.  Refer to “Pre-Start Up Check List” and “Start Up 

Procedures” sections of this manual prior to restarting 
pump operation.
