(13).
2) Remove the four diaphragm hold-down screws (3) and the
diaphragm hold-down plate (2) .
3) Replace the diaphragm (1) and reverse the above procedure
for reassembly.
Replacing an Intake Valve Flapper (6)
1) Remove the six head screws (14) and remove the head
(13).
2) Remove the intake valve flapper screw (4) and the intake
valve keeper (5).
3) Replace the intake valve flapper (6) and reverse the above
procedure for reassembly.
Replacing a Set of Exhaust Valve Flappers (9 &

CAUTION: Depending on the product, the vacuum system may require the valve plate (8) to be rotated to an orientation
different from the one shown. When removing the valve plate, always take note of its orientation in the pump head (13), and
install the valve plate the same way during reassembly. In all cases, the valve plate must be oriented so that its intake hole is
matched with the head port that connects to the check valve.
