2. Mount the sensator, sensator pins, and cotter pins in the anchor with the
sensator check valve and disconnect located at the top and the side toward
the anchor drum.
3. Fill the system with fluid as follows:
a. Remove the cap from the check valve (see the illustration on page 9).
b. Screw the hand pump (part number 101349-102) onto the check valve
reservoir

plunger
Keep the hand pump reservoir at least half full at all times to avoid
introducing air into the system.
d. Push the hand pump plunger slowly to expel air from the pump at the
check valve. When air bubbles cease, tighten the hand pump swivel
nut.
e. Push open the poppet in the sensator disconnect to allow excess air to
escape.
f.

Repeat the pumping and bleeding procedure until all the air is bled
from the sensator.
g. Release the poppet and continue to pump fluid into the sensator until
.62 inches
(16 mm)
h. Remove the hand pump and replace the check valve cap.
i.
Warning
When you recouple the disconnect, make sure that the disconnect
halves are properly aligned. Improper alignment can damage the
o-ring and cause fluid leakage.

3. Inspect the sensator, the disconnect, the weight indicator hose, and the
weight indicator for fluid leaks. Repair or replace components as
necessary to eliminate leaks.

1. Clamp the junction block (12) in a vise. Apply thread sealer to the check
valve (14) and to both ends of the -inch nipple (16) pipe threads.
2. Thread the anchor half disconnect (15) to the nipple (16), then thread both
componentsalong with the check valve (14)to the junction block and
tighten.
3. Place the diaphragm (9) in the groove in the diaphragm sub-assembly (8).
Slip the retainer ring (7) over the diaphragm and align the holes in the
retainer ring with the holes in the casing.
4. Apply locktight sealant to the cap screw threads and start (but do not
completely tighten) all 16 screws (2).
23
When properly assembled, the casing and the retainer ring form a
flush seal around the circumference.
6. Apply thread sealer to the threads on both ends of the hose (11). Tighten
the hose into the elbow (10).
7. Clamp the lower housing (3) in a vise and place the load plate (5) on the
housing. Center the scallops of the load plate on the housing bolt holes.
8. Place the diaphragm sub-assembly (2, 7, 8, and 9) over the load plate (5),
with the threaded holes in the casing aligned with the bolt holes in the
lower housing (3) and the elbow (10) is in the position shown in the
illustration on page 23 and below.

9. Position the spacers (6) over the bolt holes in the lower housing (3).
Loosely thread the lower housing bolts (4) into place.
10. Position the spacers (6) over the bolt holes in the load plate (5).

11. Loop the hose (11) as shown by the dashed line in the top view and pull
the end through the hole in the upper housing.
hose
12. Loosely thread the junction block (12) on the hose end (11).
13. Position the upper housing (1) so that the bolt holes are centered over the
spacers (6). Thread the upper housing bolts (4) into place. Tighten all the
upper housing and lower housing bolts.
14. Tighten the hose (11) into the junction block (12) by holding the hose
coupling with a wrench and rotating the junction block clockwise. Make
sure that, when tight, the junction block is in the relative position shown
in the illustration on page 20.
15. Apply Locktite sealant to the junction block screws (13). Insert the screws
and tighten them.
Reassembly of the sensator is now complete. Prepare the sensator and anchor
for operation as follows:
1. Replace the sensator, sensator pins, and cotter pins in the anchor.
2. Refill the system with hydraulic fluid and check the sensator gap as
described in Checking and correcting the sensator gap on page 13.
