Changing the Guide Bushings
To change the guide bushings, follow the
steps listed below.
1.
Open the valve about half way.
2.
Remove the two bolts holding
the old bushings in place and
remove the old bushings.
3.
Place the new bushing into
position.
4.
Insert the bolts, attach the nuts
and tighten.
5.
Run the valve up and down. If
any slowing of the valve
movement or jamming is noticed, loosen the bolts on one bushing and pull the valve body away
from the center of the valve and re-tighten the bolts.
6.
If slowing or jamming still occurs, loosen the guide bushing bolts on the opposite side and repeat
the operations of step 5.
7.
The valve should be opened and closed several times. If it operates as it should, the bushings are
changed correctly.
