MAINTENANCE
Shaft Assembly Sequence
Note: O-ring configurations vary. Make sure there is an o-
ring in each groove before re-assembly.
1. Apply o-ring grease to the o-rings on the o-ring connector.
2. Insert the rubber tube assembly into the valve journal and
push the valve end tube fitting fully over the
o-ring connector in the valve journal.
3. Apply o-ring grease to the fit area of the valve journal.
4. Insert the non-valve end of the rubber tube assembly into
the shaft. Slide it all the way in until it seats in the recess
(tube socket) in the non-valve journal.
5. Align the match marks on valve journal and shaft
and tap the journal into place with a rubber mallet.
6. Apply small amount of
low-strength
threadlocker to threads
of the journal set screws. Reinstall the set screws and
torque as shown in the chart below.
7. Reinstall the valve:
a. Apply a thread sealant (according to the
manufacturer's directions) to threads of the valve.
b. Screw the valve into the shaft and torque to
8.8-10 ft·lbs (12-13.6 Nm).
