Disassembling the Bladder Pump
- With each hand, hold the Top and Bottom Platens and rotate each counter clockwise, opposite to each other.
- Once loosened, unscrew the Top Platen from the Pump Body. Be careful not to lose the 5/16" OD Check Ball. Unscrew the Pump Body from the Bottom Platen.
- Slide the Pump Body off the Bladder Sleeve. Pull the Bladder Sleeve out of the Bottom Platen. Set the Bladder Sleeve aside for future use; it contains the Top and Bottom Retainers, Centre Rod, and Bladder.
- Remove the 5/16" OD Check Ball from the Bottom Platen. Be careful not to lose either of the Check Balls, as they will be required for future use.
- Check all O-rings for wear or damage, and replace as necessary.
Assembling the Double Valve Pump
- Take the 3/8" OD Check Ball from the Conversion Kit and drop it into the Bottom Platen.
- Take the Valve Body and insert into the Bottom Platen until the O-ring firmly seats.
- Insert the other 3/8" OD Check Ball into the top of the Valve Body.
- Insert the bottom end of the riser into the Valve Body. (The bottom end of the riser has holes in the side of it.)
- Slide the Pump Body over the Riser and thread onto the Bottom Platen.
- Take the Top Platen and while lining up the top of the Riser into the centre of the Top Platen, thread the Pump Body to the Top Platen.
