Disassembly/Reassembly 

 

NEVER apply direct heat to the float.   

The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents 
leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. 

 

When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal 
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has 
cooled to room temperature.   

Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead 
to discharge of fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage. 

Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the 
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way.   

Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or 
burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids. 

Use the following procedures to remove components. Use the same procedures in 
reverse to reassemble.   
(Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve 
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.)

removal during normal product disassembly. The plate should only be replaced when it 
has become deformed or damaged. Upon reassembly, tighten to the proper torque.
