(2) Disassembly Inspection
•
Refer to the “Disassembly / Reassembly” section on pages 22 - 33.
•
As a general rule, this inspection should be performed at least once every 2 years.
•
When inspecting the interior of the unit, check the following items:
a) Make sure the push rod does not catch on anything during snap-action (the
up-down movement of the push rod) and moves smoothly as the float rises and
falls.
b) In the case of the GT model, make sure the valve in the trap unit moves up and
down smoothly as it opens and closes.
c) Make sure the valve shafts in the intake (motive medium) and exhaust valves
move up and down smoothly. The gap between the stem of the closed intake
(motive medium) valve and the push plate should be within specified range. The
exhaust valve will have some movement when open, but should be stable when
closed.)
d) Make sure the float is not damaged and has not filled with water.
e) Make sure all nuts and bolts are properly installed and fastened.
f) Check to make sure that there is no foreign matter sticking to the shafts and
levers of any of the units, and make sure there is no abnormal wear.
•
When reassembling, be sure to replace the body and cover gaskets with new
gaskets.
•
Also replace any parts that are broken or show serious wear.
•
If any parts require replacement, refer to the “Replacement Parts” on pages 23 and
24.
