5. Disassembly Instructions
5.1 General overview: main disassembly steps
Despite the fact that all eight models of the RBV07 range of inflators have different layouts
and functionality, the service procedures for these inflators have a lot in common. For that
reason, the disassembly steps of the 8 different models are not described separately for
each one, but are consolidated into steps that are common to all.
There are four main steps in the disassembly process:
1. Unscrew and remove all inlet and outlet adapters:
a. The 5/16” inflator stems,
b. The 5/16”-9/16” adapters and
c. The GC3 Flowstop isolators (where fitted).
2. Remove the swivelling inflator bodies (the parts with the blue or green buttons) from
the outlet bodies by unscrewing the connecting locking nuts from the outlet bodies.
3. Remove the blue or green push buttons by unscrewing them from the inflator
spindles, and subsequently pull out the inflator spindles.
4. Remove all O-rings and clean the metal parts.
5.2 Unscrew the 5/16” inflator stem(s) from the inflator body
- Use an 8 mm spanner to unscrew the inflator stem from the inflator body.
- Remove the O-ring and discard it.
