Assemble Air Compressor

1. Check (unloader) bore bushings (1) for damage and wear.

NOTE: If these bushings need replacement, remove the bushing by the use of a 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) pipe threaded tap. Then install a 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) pipe threaded rod and pull the bushing straight up and out.

2. Check the cylinder bores in the crankcase housing for damages (scored or out of round). Measure the cylinder bore in several places. If the measurement difference is more than .001 in. (0.03 mm) or taper is more than .002 (0.05 mm), the cylinder bore must be made larger (rebored or honed oversize). See SPECIFICATIONS.

3. Install seal rings (3) in both ends of the crankcase housing.

4. Install the new (unloader) pistons in their bore.


NOTICE

Be careful not to cause damage to the O-ring seals or the spiral rings.


5. Put the unloader plungers in their guides. Install the plunger and guide as a unit (6) to the crankcase housing and on top of the pistons. Install the unloader spring seat in the crankcase housing.

6. Put saddle (4) in position between the unloader piston guides. Install (unloader) spring (8). Make sure it makes a seat on the spring seats and on the saddle.

7. Install inlet valve guides (10) on (unloader) bore bushing (2) in the crankcase housing. Put inlet valves (9) in the guides.

8. Install strainer (7), the gasket and cover (5) over the air inlet port of the crankcase housing. Install the bolts that hold the cover.
