assembly (10).
2.
Align valve plate assembly (10) with compressor cylinder block (12) cylinders, and install valve
plate assembly (10) on compressor cylinder block (12).
NOTE
Make sure valve plate assembly alignment pins are engaged, and
all bolt holes and oil holes are unrestricted by gaskets before
installing cylinder head.
3.
Position cylinder head (8), with fittings on same side of compressor cylinder block (12) as oil fill
hole, and install cylinder head (8) on valve plate assembly (10) without misaligning gasket (9).
4.
Install five capscrews (7) into cylinder head (8) and tighten capscrews (7) finger tight.
Tighten five capscrews (7) to 10-15 lb-ft (14-20 Nm) in tightening sequence shown. Then retighten
5.
to 22-25 lb-ft (30-34 Nm) in tightening sequence shown.
