Pre-assembly inspections
Guidelines
Before you assemble the pump parts, make sure you follow these guidelines:
• Inspect the pump parts according to the information in these pre-assembly topics before you
reassemble your pump. Replace any part that does not meet the required criteria.
• Make sure that the parts are clean. Clean the pump parts in solvent in order to remove oil, grease, and
dirt.
NOTICE: Protect machined surfaces while you clean the parts. Failure to do so may result in
equipment damage.

• Localized wear or grooving that is greater than 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) deep
