2.1 Assembling the Control to the
Magnum Valve
The control and the Magnum valve work together as an
integral system to ensure synchronization. Follow the
steps outlined below to install the control on the
Magnum valve.
Remove Cam Cover
Remove the cam cover by pressing in on the cover
release tabs (Figure 2.2). Note the cover locking tab
and the slot in the top plate. When you reassemble the
cover, the locking tab is placed in the slot first and the
cover lowered into position.

Align Camshaft
The camshaft is keyed and should only be engaged or
disengaged when in the position illustrated (Figure 2.3).
If the camshaft is not in the proper position, rotate the
cam assembly counterclockwise until the camshaft
arrow aligns with pillow block arrow.

of the camshaft (Figure 2.4). The front end of the

same manner (Figure 2.5).

into the control. The control indicator must be in the
BACKWASH COMPLETE position for the 942F,
