the HP seat, apply a short blast of low pressure air through the
small hole to dislodge the HP seat(13). (See Fig. 7.) Discard the
seat, and do not reuse.
11. Resecure the first stage in the vise with the body positioned
vertical, and the LP swivel facing up.
12. Apply a spanner wrench to one of the larger bore holds of the
piston cap(25), and hold it securely seated to turn the cap coun-
ter-clockwise to loosen it from the first stage body. (See Fig. 8.)
Turn the piston cap further by hand to loosen and remove, until
it can be carefully lifted straight off the body, along with the
piston(22).
13. Gently remove the piston from the piston cap, and then remove
and discard the piston head O-ring(23). Set the piston aside
with the shaft facing up, to be kept isolated from other metal
parts or work surfaces that might damage the polished seating
edge.
14. Remove the high pressure valve spring(21) and spring isola-
tor(20) from the body. Inspect the spring isolator for any signs
of damage or distortion, and discard if any is found. Closely
inspect the spring with a magnifier to check for any signs of
damage or corrosion that has permeated the wall of the metal.
Set the spring aside to be reused if it is determined to be in
satisfactory condition with no signs of permanent corrosion or
damage.
CAUTION: If damage is found, or if the intermediate pres-
sure was measured lower than 135PSI during preliminary
inspection, replace the spring with new. DO NOT attempt to
boost the intermediate pressure by adding spring isolators
unless a new spring has first been installed.
NOTE: If corrosion is found on the spring, check for any
signs that moisture may have entered the first stage. If evi-
dence of moisture is found inside the first stage, it is important
to inspect all parts that could provide a possible leak path,
either due to damage or improper assembly.
15. Remove the first stage from the vise, and remove the vise
mounting tool if one was used.
16. Using a brass O-ring tool, remove the small dynamic O-ring(19)
from the first stage body, being careful to avoid damaging the
sealing surface of the internal groove.
17. To remove the large external O-ring(15), pinch it between
thumb and forefinger with one hand, and then apply an O-ring
