Solenoid AiR Valve Assembly
(If furnished—See enclosed manual KSL-151)
The solenoid air valve is a three-way, normally closed, quick exhaust type. This
assembly consists of the electric air solenoid valve, steel mounting bracket, and
flexible hose. Assemble the mounting bracket to the base of the valve and orient
this assembly so that the air outlet port (marked “1” on the valve body) points
toward the air cylinder and is within reach of the flexible hose. Next attach this
hose to the No. 1 port of the solenoid valve and mount the valve assembly on the
machine allowing sufficient flexibility to accommodate cylinder movement. (See
diagram below.) It is extremely important to use the rubber hose provided for
the connection between the solenoid valve and the air cylinder. It provides
the necessary flexibility, size and length for proper exhaust of cylinder air,
all of which are required for successful machine operation.
Mount the solenoid valve assembly in a vertical position. The electrical conduit fitting can be easily adjusted to face in
any horizontal direction by loosening the hex nut at the top and turning the enclosure. Retighten this nut after locating
the fitting. Saddle-clamp type terminals are provided on the solenoid for wiring.
Exhaust air muffler must be kept clean at all times. Never operate machine unless muffler is clean.
