MAINTENANCE
Once each year or every 100, 000 miles the valve
should be removed, disassembled and repair kit
installed.
SERVICE CHECKS
Normal usage tests will provide good checks
for valve.
However, it should be checked periodically as
follows.
Air leaks (disregarding normal exhaust) may appear
at exhaust port.
Nominal leakage of slow bubbling of
soap will have little consequence in most systems.
A
leak at exhaust port when valve is applied indicates

valve, stem seal is leaking.
If leakage is noted the valve
must be removed and either replaced or repaired
