Fig. 5.24 Push down tightly on the cover.
8) Depress the purge button (52d) in the center
of the cover (51b).
9) There should be 1/8 inch (3.0 mm) of free
travel before the button comes in contact with
the diaphragm.
10) The lever (55) must now be adjusted to the
correct height if it is not already correct. The
nut (53) can be loosened no more than 1/8 of a
turn to lower the lever height. The lever must
be bent if more adjustment is necessary.
Fig. 5.26 Bending the lever up.
Note:Before bending the lever, double check
the adjustments. It is very rare that the lever
ever has to be bent in a regulator that has
been in service. Usually levers only require
bending in new installations or because of
damage during disassembly.
CAUTION: Be careful not to place
undue stress on the lower arms of the
lever (55) as this will disfigure the lower
blades and cause spongy operation.

11) To bend the lever down, place the disk end
of the KMDSI 1/4 inch wrench onto the flat
area of the adjustment tube inside the regulator.
Next slide the disk, as far as possible under the
new lever (55). With your finger bend the lever
down over the disk to the desired hight. Be
careful not to bend the lever too far!
