Servicing Instructions
Removing/Installing Manifold:
1) Remove fasteners retaining manifold.
2) Separate manifold from crankcase.
Note: it may be necessary to rotate the crankshaft, or tap the manifold
lightly with rawhide mallet to loosen the manifold from crankcase.
Caution: When sliding head from crankcase use caution not to damage
plungers.
3) The seal assemblies may come off with the manifold. At this point
examine the ceramic plungers. Plunger’s surface should be smooth
and free from scoring, pitting, or cracks; if not, replace.
4) Coat each plunger with grease.
5) Align outside pistons in the forward position.
6) Reinstall manifold and torque to specifications per sequence
described below.

• Next torque to specification; again, in sequence.
Replacing ceramic plungers:
1) Remove the stainless steel fasteners retaining the plungers.
2) Remove the brass bushing and ceramic plunger from piston rod.
3) If copper slinger washer comes off with plunger, be certain this is
replaced before new plunger is installed.

NOTE: a film of grease on the outside of the o-ring insures a better
installation.
