13. Seat the O-ring squarely against the up-
per surface of the internal Valve shoul-
der. Refer to Figure 9-10.
14. Slide the two Spacers (5) over the
threads and onto the unthreaded hub of
the Valve Stem. Seat the Spacers
squarely against the upper O-ring. Refer
to Figure 9-10.
15. Figure 9-11-B shows the Spacers and
O-rings seated correctly.
16. It may be necessary to force the valve
down onto the lower O-ring and Spacers
to obtain enough clearance to install
both upper spacers on the unthreaded
portion of the hub.
17. DO NOT attempt to install the Valve
Nut (3) and Nut Bushing (4) until the
O-rings and Spacers are seated properly.
•
If they are seated improperly as the
examples in Figure 9-11-A show, the
Hole-Hog will malfunction and these
components may be damaged.
• These components must be seated so
the top Spacer aligns with the top of
the unthreaded portion of the hub.
Refer to Figure 9-11-B.
18. Slide the Nut Bushing (4) over the
threads of the Valve Stem and seat the
bushing against the top Spacer (5). Re-
fer to Figure 9-12.
19. Holding the Nut Bushing (4) in place,
thread the Valve Nut (3) onto the Valve
Stem. Tighten it hand tight.
20. Use a 2-3/4-inch open end wrench to
tighten the Valve Nut (3) on the Valve
Stem (8). Refer to Figure 9-13.
21. Adjust Valve movement:
a. Tighten the nut just enough to re-
move play from the Valve assembly.
b. Then back the nut off by ¼ to ½ a
turn to allow Valve movement.
