If the rod travels less than1/2", the piston is not
moving freely within the liner and they must be
cleaned:
1. Remove the control section assembly, top
cap and thermostat.
2. Unthread the liner from the cap (it is glued
together; the o-rings must be removed and
heat should be applied to melt the glue and
loosen the liner).
3. Clean the piston and liner with any cleaner
suitable for brass and stainless steel (400-
grit sandpaper may be used to polish and
hone the piston and liner).
WARNING To prevent injuries, use proper protective
