  • Secure dial gauge (A) on plunger (C). Ensure that gauge is fitted with a preload of 10 - 15 mm, then zero.
  • Turn pump in its slots to move top of pump away from the cylinder assembly (maximum delay position).
  • Turn the crankshaft in its direction of rotation until piston no. 1 is turned exactly to TDC.

Never turn crankshaft against its direction of rotation. Otherwise tool or pump may be damaged.

  • Read distance off dial gauge. Then turn pump slowly in its slots until dial gauge shows exact fitting distance indicated on pump label (e.g. 8.52 mm).
  • Now tighten pump retaining screws fully.

Final check

  • Turn crankshaft in its direction of rotation by a few revolutions (at least 2) until piston no. 1 is exactly at TDC. The dial gauge reading should correspond to the reading printed on the pump label. Otherwise, repeat procedure described above with greater accuracy.
