ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Fix oil pump in vise as vise occasion demands.
CAUTION:
When retaining drive shaft assembly in a vise, always use copper or aluminum plates between vise
and shaft.
1. Apply recommended grease to oil seal lips (1). Apply recom- mended fluid to around oil seal, and then install oil seal to body
assembly.
2. Apply recommended fluid to drive shaft assembly and press drive shaft assembly into body assembly with suitable tool, then
install snap ring.
3. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring and Install O-ring into body assembly.
4. Install side plate to body assembly.
5. Install lock pin into lock pin hole, and install cam-ring as shown in the figure.
When installing cam-ring, turn carved face with a letter (E) of
it to rear cover.
CAUTION:
Do not confuse the assembling direction of cam ring. If
