XIX. Reassembly of Pilot Valve (Contd.)
viii. Remove Funnel Tube Assembly.
ix. Inspect Adjuster Top to make sure that Spring
Seal (Adjuster Top) did not flare out during
installation and that the Spring Seal (Adjuster
Top) is oriented as shown in Figure 48.
c. Thread Adjuster Top clockwise onto Adjuster
bottom and torque to 27±2 ft-lbs (37± 2.7 N-m).
d. Lubricate Main Piston stem and cycle Main Piston
through Spring Seal (Adjuster Top) five times.
Note: Do not install adjuster assembly into Pilot
Base with O-Rings installed without wrench
tightening Adjuster Top to Adjuster Bottom
together. Adjuster Top can get stuck in Pilot Base
if Adjuster Top is not tighten properly.
e. Install O-Ring (Adjuster Top) into groove on
Adjuster Top.
f. Install O-Ring (Adjuster Bottom) into groove on
Adjuster Bottom. Install from the opposite end
of the square wrenching flats.
g. Lightly lubricate both external O-Rings on
Adjuster Assembly. Install Adjuster Assembly
into Pilot Base with the Adjuster Top going in
first. Rotate the assembly clockwise during
installation until the threads are engaged. This
helps the O-Rings get by chamfers and holes.
h. Continue to turn Adjuster Assembly clockwise
into Pilot Base until it stops.
i. Turn Adjuster Assembly counterclockwise the
number of flats that was recorded in Disassembly
Instructions (Section XVII.B), step 16.
j. Thread the Adjuster Lock Nut clockwise onto the
Adjuster Assembly hand tight.
k. Thread Adjuster Cap clockwise onto Adjuster
Assembly hand tight.
Note: Make sure Adjuster Cap and Adjuster Lock Nut
threads freely on Adjuster Bottom. Adjuster
Assembly may be inadvertently rotated if these
two parts do not fit loosely.
3. The Insert Assembly of the pilot consists of:
1 – Insert Top
1 – Insert Bottom
1 – Spring Seal (Insert)
1 – O-Ring (Insert)
a. Press Spring Seal (Insert) into groove on the
Insert Bottom. Make sure spring is facing
upwards.
b. Install Insert Top over Insert Bottom with the
spring seal side going in first.
c. Lightly lubricate O-Ring groove now formed by
the two insert parts. This lubrication is used
to hold the O-Ring in place when it is being
inserted into Pilot Base.
d. Place O-Ring (Insert) into groove.
e. Final Insert Assembly is shown in Figure 49.
f. Turn Insert Assembly over and thread into
Pilot Base with T-handle groove wrench
(Part #4995401, Figure 81). Tighten wrench
tight. Make sure milled slot is facing up.
g. Lubricate Main Piston stem and cycle Main
Piston through Spring Seal (Insert) five times.
Note: For Dirty Service Option, please refer to
assembly instructions included in the Dirty
Service Option section.
4. Install O-Ring (Top Plate) into groove on top of
Pilot Base.
Note: For Dirty Service Option, O-Ring (Top Plate)
is installed into groove on top of the Dirty
Service Insert.
a. Lubricate the Spring Seal (Main Piston) and Top
Plate gland. Install the Spring Seal (Main Piston)
into Top Plate. The spring should be oriented as
shown in Figure 50.
b. Lubricate Main Piston before installing. Install the
Main Piston into the Top Plate with the Spring
Washer bearing point going in first. Be careful not
to damage the Spring Seal (Main Piston).
5. Install Main Piston / Top Plate Assembly into Pilot
Base by inserting small diameter end of Main Piston
through Insert Assembly.
Note: For Dirty Service Option, install Main Piston /Top
Plate Assembly into Dirty Service Insert instead
of Pilot Base.
6. Insert the four Cap Screws (Top Plate) through the
Top Plate and thread into the Pilot Base. Tighten to
25 ± 2 ft-lbs (34 ± 2.7 N-m).
Note: If removed, thread Compression Screw Lock Nut
clockwise onto Compression Screw.
7. Thread Compression Screw Lock Nut clockwise
onto Compression Screw.
8. Thread Compression Screw into top of Bonnet
until the bearing point begins to protrude through
Bonnet.
