18 REPLACING THE PUMPING PISTONS
Prepare the equipment supplied for removing and fitting the
pistons. To remove the pistons, proceed as follows:
Drain out the water tank, pull the evacuation lever (Fig. 25 Ref. 2)
to the vertical position.
- Start the machine and run the engine at low speed and adjust the
pump flow rate to its minimum using the switch (Fig. 25 Ref. 2) on
the electrical cabinet.
- Turn the inversion switch (Fig. 25 Ref. 2)
- While looking into the tank, raise the safety grill when one of the
two pistons reaches the end of the cylinder
- Switch the machine off
The following procedures should be done with the ma-
chine SWITCHED OFF.
It is advisable to remove the upper hopper to facilitate the work.
Use vaseline grease the fit the new rubber pistons.
18.1 REMOVAL

3).
- Screw the tie-rod (Fig. 26.2 Ref. 4) fully into the extractor, locate
the centring bush (Fig. 26.3 Ref. 5) on the wear plate, fit the cap
(Fig. 26.3 Ref. 6) and start screwing in the nut (Fig. 26.3 Ref. 7) ;
