The breather valve must be mounted in a vertical
position to function properly. The breather valve
mounting bracket allows the repositioning of the
valve for the required vertical mounting.
The breather valve system indicates a breach in
the diaphragm. If a breach occurs, the working fluid
passes through the diaphragm to the back side of the
diaphragm. Fluid then flows into the clear tubing and
into the breather valve. The breather valve stops the
fluid from exiting the suppressor.

1.
Both the breather valve (33b) and the valve
fitting (33c) are preassembled. On the muffler
side, assemble the breather valve (33b) to the
mounting bracket (33a) with the jam nut (33d).
Torque to 8–10 ft-lb (11–14 N•m). Thread the air
fitting (33e) into the valve fitting (33c).
NOTE: Before assembling the breather valve
system, verify clearances around the muffler and
air inlet by setting up the breather valves vertically
as a test. Mounting brackets have several
possible breather valve mounting configurations.
2.
Attach the assembly to the air cover (13) using
a screw (18).
NOTE: Breather valve assemblies must be
mounted and installed with the breather valve in
the vertical direction for proper operation. See
the illustrations in
for some
possible mounting configurations.
3.
Connect the tubing (33f) to the fittings (33e) to
complete the breather valve assembly.
