GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group 1. INTRODUCTION MKS SERIES This manual describes the instructions for Repairing MKS Series pumps, and must be carefully read and understood before performing any repair intervention on the pump. Correct use and adequate maintenance is fundamental for the pump’s regular operation and long wear. General Pump declines any responsibility for damage caused by the misuse or the non-observance of the instructions described in this manual. 2. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS 2.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group 2.1.1 Crank Mechanism Disassembly The correct sequence is the following MKS SERIES Completely drain the oil from the pump, then remove the key from the shaft (1, fig.2). Unscrew the reducer flange fastening screws (1, fig. 3) and remove the flange from the shaft. On the opposite side, unfasten the screws (1, fig. 4) and then remove the bearing cover.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Disassemble the crankcase cover by unfastening the relevant screws (1, fig. 5). Unfasten the reducer cover screws (1, fig. 6). Insert 3 dowels, or 3 M8 threaded screws (1, fig. 7) in the appropriate holes to aid extraction, and two sufficiently long M10 screws in order to support the cover (2, fig. 7).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Screw on the 3 threaded screws (1, fig. 8) and simultaneously, using the appropriate tool (p/n F27516700), hammer on the tool itself so that the bearing remains on the pinion when extracting the cover (1, fig. 9). When this operation is complete, remove the reducer cover and then slip off the bearing from the pinion. Remove the screws that fasten the ring gear stopper (1, fig. 10), and remove the stopper itself (1, fig. 11).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Remove the key from the shaft (1, fig. 13). Remove the pinion by using a slide hammer applying it to the M14 hole (1, fig. 14). Lift the safety washer key (1, fig.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Insert a spacer under the connecting rod to block shaft rotation (1, fig. 16). Using an appropriate wrench, unscrew and remove the ring nut (1, fig. 17) and then remove the safety washer (1, fig 18). Screw a SKF KM19 type ring nut onto the pressure sleeve (1, fig. 19), then loosen the sleeve using an appropriate wrench (1, fig. 20).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES On the opposite side, unfasten the reducer case screws (1, fig. 21), and then remove the case (1, fig. 22). Unscrew the connecting rod screws (1, fig. 23). Disassemble the connecting rod caps with the split bearings; be particularly aware of disassembly order. The connecting rod caps and the related connecting rods must be reassembled in the exact order and coupling as during disassembly.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Push the connecting rods forward in the direction of the hydraulic side in order to push out the crankshaft. Use the appropriate tool (p/n F27566200) to facilitate this operation (1, fig. 25) Remove the pressure sleeve (1, fig. 26). Remove the upper split bearing of the connecting rods (1, fig. 27).

On the opposite side, extract the bearing (1, fig. 30) If the replacement of one or more connecting rods or plunger guides is necessary, please operate as follows: Unfasten the screws of the tool (p/n F27566200 to unlock the connecting rods (1, fig.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Couple the connecting rods with the previously disassembled caps; be sure to respect numbering (1, fig. 33). Remove the two seeger rings that block the plunger pin by using the appropriate tool (1, fig. 34). Remove the pin (1, fig. 35) and then remove the connecting rod (1, fig. 36).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES To separate the rod from the plunger guide, unfasten the M10 hexagonal-head screws using a size 17 socket wrench (1, fig. 37). 2.1.2 Crank Mechanism Assembly Proceed with assembly by inverting the precedure indicated in paragraph 2.1.1. The correct sequence is the following: Connect the rod to the plunger guide Insert the Ø5 pin in the appropriate hole on the plunger guide (1, fig.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Block the rod using a clamp, and proceed with calibration using a torque wrench (1, fig. 40) as indicated in paragraph 3. “SCREW CALIBRATION” Insert the connecting rod in the plunger guide (1, fig. 36) and then insert the pin (1, fig. 35). Apply the two seeger rings using the correct tool (1, fig. 34). Make sure that conrods, plunger guides and wrist pins can move freely after being assembled together.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Insert the shaft (1, fig. 29) until the pre-assembled bearing is aligned with the edge of the crankcase (1, fig. 43). Manually insert the pressure sleeve to maintain the shaft alignment (1, fig. 44). Assemble the reducer case (1, fig. 45) and the related gasket (2, fig 45) using the 6 M12 x 40 screws (1, fig. 46), the 2 M12 x 50 screws (1, fig. 47) and the Ø 12 Grower washers (2, fig. 46 and fig. 47).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Completely insert the pressure sleeve on the shaft from the opposite side of the PTO (1, fig. 49 and fig. 50). Pressure sleeve insertion must be done without oil or lubricants. Insert the sleeve until the external surface (tapered) couples perfectly with the inside of the bearing. During insertion, be sure that the bearing remains in contact with the shaft shoulder. Measure the dimension “X” indicated in fig. 51.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group Measure the dimension “X” indicated in fig. 51. MKS SERIES Screw the ring nut and fasten the sleeve until the dimension “X” is reduced by a value ranging between 0.7 and 0.8 mm (fig. 52). Unscrew the ring nut, insert the safety washer (1, fig. 53) and completely screw the ring nut (1, fig. 54); then fold the washer’s locking key (1, fig. 55).
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Remove the device that blocks the connecting rods using p/n F27566200 (1, fig. 31). Insert the upper split bearings between the connecting rods and the shaft (1, fig. 56).

Assemble the bearing on the reducer cover (1, fig. 66). Assemble the reducer cover (1, fig. 67) and fasten it using 8 M10 x 50 screws (1, fig. 68). Use a stopper to avoid the bearing coming out of the seat (1, fig. 69). Calibrate the screws with the torque wrench as indicated in paragraph 3.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Insert the oil seal inside the reducer flange using the proper tools, p/n F27515900 and F27548200 (1, fig. 70). Before proceeding with oil seal assembly, verify the conditions of the sealing lip. If replacement is necessary, position the new ring as indicated in fig. 71. If the shaft presents diameter wear corresponding to the sealing lip, to avoid the need for grinding it’s possible to position the ring as indicated in fig. 71.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Insert the key 16 x 10 x 90 in the pinion. Insert the O-ring in the rear cover (1. fig. 74) and fasten it to the crankcase using 10 M8 x 18 screws (1, fig. 75).

GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES 2.2.3 Disassembling the Plunger Unit - Supports - Seals The plunger unit requires a periodical inspection as indicated in the preventive maintenance table of the Owner’s Manual. Interventions only require visual inspections of the draining from the hole in the lower cover. In case of anomolies/oscillations on the delivery pressure gauge, or leaking from the drain hole, proceed with seal inspection and replacement if necessary.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group MKS SERIES Manually rotate the shaft so that the 3 plungers are in the top dead center position. Insert the stopper tool p/n F27516600 between the plunger guide and the plunger (1, fig 113). Turning the shaft, move the plunger forward so that the stopper, moving forward itself, can push out the packing support and the entire plunger unit (1, fig. 114). Extract the packing support and the stopper tool.
GENERAL PUMP A member of the Interpump Group Remove the wiper rings from the plunger guides (1, fig. 116). MKS SERIES If replacement of the plunger guide oil seal is needed, disassemble the oil seal cover by operating as follows: Unfasten the two screws of the oil seal cover (1, fig. 117).
