controller. Lift the tap (complete with elbow)
clear.
7.
Loosen the hexagonal locknut securing the
elbow to the tap. Remove the elbow by
rotating it.
8.
If fitting a new tap, remove the hexagonal
nut at the mounting bracket end of the old tap
and fit to the replacement tap. Refit in the
reverse order. When refitting, make sure that
the tap spindle is in the correct relationship
relative to the control pivot bracket. Rotate
the pivot bracket fully clockwise. The tap
spindle should “bottom out” (i.e. the tap
should be fully open) after the pivot
bracket has actuated the ignition
microswitch but before it has
pushed the microswitch leaf against
the microswitch body.
When refitting the thermocouple
and interrupter block, make sure
that the microswitch wires are
properly secured to give a good
electrical contact.
