NOTICE
Typically, when a RP device is leaking from the relief valve, a fouled
or damaged first check valve is the cause. Make sure the first check
valve is functioning properly before assuming there is a problem with
the relief valve. If the first check is found to be functioning properly,
we recommend cleaning the relief valve piston (B) and seat (C). Use
a toothbrush (A) to gently brush away any debris on the relief valve
piston (B) or seat (C) that may be preventing the piston (B) from seal-
ing properly against the seat (C). This should return the relief valve to
proper working order without disassembly or the use of a repair kit.

line from the valve body (A).
2. To remove the relief valve from the valve body disconnect
the two relief valve mounting bolts (B) using a

When removing the relief valve be sure not to drop the top
O-ring (C) as the relief valve body uses this O-ring to seal
against the valve body.
3. To access the relief valve remove the relief valve cover using
two
