STEP 14

. Rotate the rotor shaft so that flat faces up (12:00). Position piston cup at bot-

tom dead center of cylinder sleeve. 

STEP 15.

  Slide the connecting rod assembly onto the shaft until the eccentric face 

positivly stops against the bearing. Align the eccentric setscrew with the flat of the shaft.  

Rotate the eccentric and shaft 90 degrees so the set screw is visable through the access 

hole in the housing, and tighten set screw to 125in•lbs.

STEP 16. 

Align the flat on the fan with 

the flat on the

 

motor shaft and slide the 

fan back onto the motor shaft, making 

sure  you  position  the  fan  clip  in  the 

same orientation as it was before you 

removed  it.  Incorrect orientation of the 

fan will not provide adequate cooling of 

the compressor.

Figure 7

Hold  the  sleeve  down  against  the 

housing  with  one  hand,  and  slowly 

rotate  the  fan  with  the  other  hand  to 

ensure  all  components  are  lined  up 

properly. As the piston travels up and 

down it will also rock from side to side. 

This is a feature of the WOB-L Piston.  

Repeat steps 9-16 on the other side of 

compressor.

STEP 11

. Insert the 5/32” allen wrench into 

the access hole in the compressor hous-

ing. Loosen the set screw 1/4 turn. Rotate 

connecting rod to top dead center (180°) 

and  slide  the  connecting  rod/eccentric 

assembly  off  the  shaft  and  through  the 

opening in the housing.

STEP 12.

 Secure the rod assembly in a fixture. 

Remove the sleeve (1 - discard) from the con-

necting rod. Remove the screw  (2 - discard )  

from the cup retainer (3-retain for reassembly). 

Remove the piston cup (4 - discard) and wipe 

debris from the top of the connecting rod and 

retainer with a clean damp cloth.

STEP 13

.  Carefully place new  sleeve (1) over 

connecting rod top. Place new cup (4) in center 

of  connecting rod top. Do not damage the cup. 

Place  retainer  (3)  on  top  of  cup  (counterbore 

up), making sure that the cup inside diameter 

is  seated  properly  over  retaining  boss.  Note 

that the retainer has a locating boss that must 

insert into rod top pilot. Drive new retainer screw 

to 100 in•lbs. Carefully push sleeve up forming 

the  cup.  Stop  pushing  the  cylinder  sleeve  up 

when the piston cup is positioned midway inside 

the sleeve.
