CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Main Control Valve Body

  1. Clean all parts thoroughly in clean solvent, and blow dry with moisture-free compressed air.
  1. Inspect all valve and plug bores for scores. Check all fluid passages for obstructions. Inspect the check valves for free movement. Inspect all mating surfaces for burrs or distortion. Inspect all plugs and valves for burrs and scores. If needed, use crocus cloth to polish valves and plugs. Avoid rounding the sharp edges of the valves and plugs with the cloth.
  1. Inspect all springs for distortion. Check all valves and plugs for free movement in their respective bores. Valves and plugs, when dry, must fall from their own weight in their respective bores.
  1. Roll the manual valve on a flat surface to check for bent condition.
  1. Replace the valve body-to-screen gasket.
