O-ring or no O-ring) must be completely
replaced after each disassembly of the
ports.
On plastic pumps from DL25 the O-rings
in the outer diaphragm plate must be re-
placed after each disassembly.
■Assemble the ball lifter (optional acces-
sory), install a pressure-side valve seat
in the ball lifter
■Assemble new valve balls.

Tighten the fastening screws for suc-
tion and pressure ports with the correct
torque.

compound diaphragms. Installation of
the diaphragm takes place by means

is threaded, the diaphragm is to be
screwed onto the plunger and tightened
by hand.
5.3.1.4 Replacement of the internal
control valve
■Procedure as described under 5.3.1.
■
Unscrew the air chambers from the
central block (only on metal pumps,
exception:DBdiaphragmpumps,DH)
(Fig. 12).
■
Press the air control valve out of the
central block.
■
The air control valve is replaced as a
complete unit (Fig. 16).
■
To install the plain bearing bushings
and seal ring, we recommend using the
piston rod for guidance (see Fig. 17).

In contrast to the assembly instructions
for bearing bushings of pump series

The bearing bushing has two grooves
to take up the outer O-rings. In order to
