Removing the Flapper Valves
Note: We recommend you remove and replace one
flapper valve at a time. This will help to
simplify the repair process and orient the
flapper valve correctly on the valve plate.
1.
If you are replacing a flapper valve on the
top side of the valve plate (side facing the
head), remove the flapper valve screw (1)
with a 1/4" hex socket, lift off the valve keeper
strip (2), lift off the valve restraint (3), and lift
off the flapper valve (4).
2.
Remove any debris from the valve plate with
a damp, lint free cloth. (Soaps and
detergeants should not be used due to the
potential for corrosion from soap residue.)
3.
Place the valve plate on the compressor
housing and orient it as illustrated. Note the
orientation of the valve ports.
4.
Orient a new flapper valve (1) over Port 1.
Observe the location of the notches (2) at the
end of the flapper valve.
