For face connections, a little me-
chanical leverage may be used.

Changing of ball seat in operating unit

If problems with on/off valve occurs (dripping nozzles when on/off
valve is closed), the ball and ball seat should be checked.

Remove the 2 bolts fixing the
on/off-pressure valve unit to
the bracket, unscrew the
union nut A and pull the on/
off-pressure valve away from
the distribution valves.

Check the ball for sharp
edges and scratches and
check the ball seat for
cracks and wear - replace if necesary.

Nozzle tubes and fittings

Poor seals are usually caused by;
• missing O-rings or gaskets
• damaged or incorrectly seated O-rings
• dry or deformed O-rings or gaskets
• foreign bodies

Therefore, in case of leaks: DO NOT overtighten.
Disassemble, check condition and position of O-
ring or gasket, clean lubricate and reassemble.
For radial connections only hand tighten them.

Lubricate ALL THE WAY ROUND before fitting.
