M. Valve Body Disassembly

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT









Important: Note the positions of the throttle valve adjusting screw and primary regulator valve plunger sleeve before valve body disassembly. Throttle valve opening will change with throttle valve adjusting screw position. Some units do not require a throttle valve adjusting screw. However, if the unit serviced includes a throttle valve adjusting screw and it is removed or replaced during valve body service, the new or reused throttle valve adjusting screw must be installed in the same position from which it was removed. Line pressure will change with the position of the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve. If the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve is removed during valve body service, make sure the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve is installed in the same position from which it was removed.
