| Pump leaks at the upper packing |
155-053A/155-052A packing components, 182-906 spring and 155-982 rod |
Inspect rod finish and packing condition because a damaged rod can quickly ruin new packings; diagnose before replacing the packing set. |
| Pump moves faster on one stroke |
155-225 ball, 155-921 piston seat, 0509707 foot-valve ball and 155-991 foot valve |
Uneven stroke speed often indicates valve bypass; inspect both valve groups before ordering parts. |
| Poor priming |
155-991 foot valve, 0509707 ball, 174-102 cage and suction connection |
The inlet valve must seal to create suction; clean and inspect seating surfaces before replacement. |
| Pressure will not hold |
155-225 ball, 155-921 piston seat, packings and 891-373 O-ring |
Internal bypass can occur at several sealing points; isolate the leak path before replacing a complete assembly. |
| New packings fail early |
155-982 rod, 155-932 cylinder and packing alignment |
Scoring or misalignment can damage fresh packings; inspect hard parts before rebuilding. |
| Fluid leaks at cylinder joint |
155-932 cylinder, 891-373 O-ring and threaded mating surfaces |
Confirm whether the seal, threads or cylinder is damaged before replacement. |
