VALVE

Position the torsion spring (8) in its approximate position in
the body so that the end which engages the handle rests
against the side of the body opposite the bracket retaining
screw holes. Place the roller cam (11) in position as shown
in Fig. 2 and insert pivot pin (13) through the torsion spring
and partially through the roller cam, leaving room to insert
the wedge shaped end of the handle.

With a small screwdriver or similar tool, force the tang of the
torsion spring towards the opposite wall of the body far
enough so the handle (10) may be inserted into the roller
cam. The pivot pin (13) may then be tapped on through
until the ends of the pin are flush with either side of the
body.

Place the mounting bracket in position and secure with two
slotted head cap screws (14).

Place the rubber knob back on the handle. Reinstall the
valve on the vehicle and test per “operating leakage checks”
in this manual.
