Clean the Inlet Screen
NOTE:
An inlet screen is provided to keep debris from damaging
the valve’s solenoid. The screen may require periodic cleaning.
Perform the following steps in order to clean the inlet screen:
Close the control stop valve (refer to the
″
Control Stop Valve
Operations
″
section).
NOTE:
If the unit has not flushed since the stop valve was closed,
the inlet arm may still be pressurized.
Use a strap wrench to turn the inlet arm valve nut slowly in the
counterclockwise direction.
Observe that any water pressure in the inlet arm is released.
Loosen the inlet arm valve nut and slip it back on the inlet arm.
Use a strap wrench to loosen the nut on the vacuum breaker at
the bottom of the valve body.
Remove or turn the valve body in order to get access to the
retainer.
Use a 1/2
″
socket to remove the retainer from the inlet arm.
NOTE:
If required, use a needle nosed pliers to pull the screen from
the inlet arm. Be very careful not to damage the screen.
