NOZZLE CONTROL VALVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Hawkeye nozzle control valves are designed to provide maintenance free operation with proper equipment
maintenance as recommended by the equipment or chemical manufacturer. However, the seals may become worn
or swollen due to chemical compounds, chemical formulations, or high operating pressures. This may cause
accelerated wear to the sealing surfaces. The following nozzle control valve maintenance procedures should be
performed on the nozzle control system or on individual nozzles if leaks are observed at a specific spray tip.

1. Loosen the fly nut (item 1) and remove the Hawkeye

2. Inspect the large o-ring (item 6) on the face of the valve body (item 4). Replace if necessary.
3. Inspect the small o-ring (item 5) on the tip of the valve body. Replace if necessary.
4. Using a valve body removal tool (P/N 321-0000-457), loosen and remove the valve body (item 4) from the
