4. Reconnect the inlet and outlet oil lines.
(a) The brass connecting bolt and spring must be used on the inlet line.
• The spring must be installed first into the pump and then the check ball.
• NOTE: Only a brass connector bolt can be used in this port.
(b) The steel connecting bolt and spring must be used only on the outlet line.
• The check ball is installed first into the pump and then
the spring.

• Procedures 4 and 5 are necessary to exhaust any air bubbles from the rotary valve cover, and obtain free
flow of oil from the pump to the outlet tube.
4. Loosen the oil inlet union bolt one or two turns, (do not take out this bolt) and pump oil out from the
union bolt on oil tube (black) connecting oil tank and oil pump, by pinching the oil tube alternately with
