11.2 Fluid end maintenance
The fluid end does not require periodical maintenance.
Service operations are limited to valve inspection
and/or replacement, when necessary. In order to remove
the valves:
Loosen and remove the valve cover screws (1, Fig. 9).
Tighten the two grub screws (1 Fig. 10) of each valve
cover until the complete valve unit moves upward enough
to allow easy extraction.
Valve components of each
valve unit are pressed
together in one single block
and therefore they can be
easily replaced and
installed back in place.
Separating the various
components of the valve
unit is carried out by
means of simple tools as
shown in Fig. 11, 12, 13 on
page 11).
