PARTS, DISASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY
PRESSURE GAUGE
•
The pressure gauge may be removed with a valve removal tool by turning counter
clockwise. Valve removal tools are commonly available at any auto parts store.
Before reinstalling, apply a small amount of thread locker on the gauge stem
threads. Insert the gauge into the handle cavity, turning clockwise by hand as far
as possible. Tighten using the suction cup tool.
INLET CONNECTOR
•
Remove the plastic, snap-on handle cover. Carefully snug the UTILITY AIRSPADE
handle
casting in a vise. Unscrew the inlet connector by turning it counterclockwise.
Exercise caution not to unscrew the handle extension from the handle casting. Before
reinstalling the connector, wrap the threads of the handle extension with Teflon tape
to prevent galling the threads and to ensure an air-tight connection. Tighten by
wrench.
TRIGGER SLEEVE AND COMFORT GRIP
•
Unthread the inlet connector per the previous instructions. Remove the two button
screws holding the trigger guard. Slide the trigger guard off the handle and save.
Remove grip and discard. Slide on the new grip, and trigger sleeve. Applying talc
or evaporating solvent to the inside will ease installation. Position the trigger guard
on the handle. Thread the two new screws into the handle. Apply threaded locker to
the two new button screws and thread into the handle. Before reinstalling the inlet
connector, wrap the treads with Teflon tape to prevent galling the threads and to
insure an air-tight connection. Tighten by wrench.
