Step 33: This step can be done in one of 3 different ways
depending on which model PID is assembled:
A. For a VRP-SB-PID-40 (Figure 17), place the Bottom Spring
(BB) onto the Jam Nut (P). Secure the Bottom Spring (BB) by
fastening the Pressure Cartridge (AA) to the Bottom Body (H)
with 6, 1/4-20 x 3/4” HHCS (Z). Torque to 100-110 in.-lbs.
B. For a VRP-SB-PID-80 (Figure 18), place the Fixed
Spring (DD) onto the Spring Nut (T). Secure the Fixed Spring
(DD) by fastening the Bottom Spring Cartridge (CC) to the
Bottom Body(H) with 6, 1/4-20 x 3/4” HHCS (Z). Torque to
100-110 in.-lbs.
C. For a VRP-SB-PID-125 (Figure 19):
a. Place the Blue Spring (HH) onto the Spring Nut (U). Then
place the Spring Seat (GG) onto the Blue Spring (HH).
b. Secure the assembly by fastening the Spring Cartridge
(FF) to the Bottom Body(H) with 6, 1/4-20 x 3/4” HHCS (Z).
Torque to 100-110 in.-lbs.
c. Thread the Spring Compression Screw (EE) into the Spring
Cartridge (FF) all the way until it stops.
