9.5 Replacing a Piston Seal
A defective piston seal allows leakage past the piston. This may cause unstable
flow rates and baseline noise; in addition, it may make it difficult to prime the
pump.
The piston seal replacement procedure consists of:
• Removing the pump head and piston (see Section 9.5.1)
• Cleaning the piston (see Section 9.5.2)
• Removing the main piston seal (see Section 9.5.3)
• Removing the piston seal wash seal (see Section 9.5.4)
• Installing new seals (see Section 9.5.5)
• Reinstalling the piston and pump head (see Section 9.5.6)
