WARNING:
before working on, or disassembling the Hydrant (including removing any bolts(s) holding the Hydrant together), shut off gate valve to isolate
Hydrant from main water source. loosen (do not remove) one nozzle cap two turns and check for water under pressure inside Hydrant - bleed off any pressure, then
remove nozzle cap completely. Open Hydrant main valve completely. A continuous flow of water, no matter how slight, indicates Hydrant is not properly isolated from
the main water supply, and that problem must be corrected before any Hydrant disassembly can proceed. Disassembly of Hydrant with pressurized water acting
against the main valve could result in unexpected ejection of Hydrant parts, debris or high-pressure water stream, which could cause serious bodily injury.
