Disassembly of the centre housing.

For VA-C50 and VA-C130 (not for VA-C10 

and VA-C20). Remove carefully the dia

-

phragm shaft

bearings and o-rings (20) from their grooves

Assembly

Before starting to assemble please check all 

parts on possible damages. Especially the 

sealing area of the diaphragms have to be 

free from scratches (see Figure 12).

Assembly of the centre housing.

Remove the end caps, the main-valve and 

the air valve shaft out of the the air-valve 

(27). Screw one end cap flush into the cen

-

tre housing (01) by using the special tool 

(see Figure 11). Put 1 off the six air- valves 

housing o-rings part of (27) into the end 

cap.

Push the air-valve housing in the centre 

housing until it touches the end cap. Be sure 

the 4 air valve- housing o-rings are kept in 

their seat. Push the main-valve and the air 

valve shaft (air valve shaft not for VA-C10 

and VA-C20) in the centre housing.

 

Put the last air-valve housing o-ring on top 

of it and screw the second end cap flush with 

the centre housing using the special tool 

(see Figure 11).

Screw the centre housing plug (04) in the
