Step 12
Important
By turning the stem of the Grease Gun (23) at a rate of 4 to 6 turns per minute, the lubricant is
forced through the Slide Valve Seat (18) channels at a rate that allows the lubricant to travel
freely, yet not separate the valve strip from the valve seat. This method will keep fresh grease in
the lubrication passages.
If the addition of grease does not reduce the flow from the open Bleeder Valve (10B) to zero,
follow these steps:
•
Close the Bleeder Valve (10B),
•
Open the Equalizer Valve (1), and move the Slide Valve Shaft (5) from the CLOSED to the
OPEN position, and back to the CLOSED position, repeating this action several times.
•
Return the Slide Valve Shaft (5) back to the CLOSED position.
•
Close the Equalizer Valve (1) and repeat the lubrication process.
•
Open the Bleeder Valve (10B).
If leakage is still present, close the Bleeder Valve (10B) and leave the Slide Valve Shaft (5) in the
CLOSED position and schedule maintenance on the Senior.
