Pin

• Pull the end of the lever arm up until

the snap-action units snaps over,
making the connecting pin
accessible.

• Using needle-nose pliers, open one

split pin and remove it and its washer
from the connecting pin.

• Remove the connecting pin, being

careful to keep it and the washers in
a safe place for reassembly.

• Make certain that the lever arm has

been raised.

• Align the trap rod to the trap connector,

and then align the pin holes.

• Place one washer on the connecting

pin, and reinsert into the pin holes.

• Place the second washer on the

opposite end of the connecting pin, and
insert a new stainless steel split pin.

• Bend the ends of the split pin with

needle-nose pliers to secure in place.

8. Removing / Reattaching the Trap Unit (GT10/GT14 only)

It is possible to remove the snap-action and lever units without removing the trap unit
(see step 4). Remove the connecting pin (step 7) before proceeding.

Washers

• Using a 19 mm (¾ in) socket

wrench with an extension bar,
loosen the bolts holding the trap
unit to the cover.

• Coat the bolt threads (trap unit bolts are longer

than snap-action unit bolts) with anti-seize.

• Insert bolts and washers, then finger tighten.

• Tighten to a torque of 60 N

Trap
Unit

• Finish removing the bolts by

hand, then remove the trap unit.

• Align the boss inside the discharge port in the

cover, as shown below.

Gasket

• The gasket should remain on

the trap unit. If the gasket
adheres to the cover, gently
remove it.

• If the gasket remained on the trap unit, check

for damage and reuse if no damage is found; if
it adhered to the cover (came out of its groove),
replace with a new gasket.
