Always fit a new valve core (Item 31) if there
is any doubt about the integrity of this item.
Press the valve core firmly into the body while
turning it to ensure that the thread engages
properly, tighten securely into position.
Do not over-tighten as this may cause dam-
age to the core mechanism or seal.
The shoulder of the core should be level with
or just below the diameter of the valve body.
2.4 RE-ASSEMBLING THE POWER INFLATOR
NOTE: Do not separate the regulator case
(Item 17) and oral inflator body (Item 11)
except to replace the ‘O’ ring (Item 13).
Remove the posidrive screw behind the lever to
release the oral inflator body which can now be
slid off its dove tail.
Removing the posidrive screw in the button
will release all the remaining components. Use
the fork end of the special OCTO+ wrench,
APS010, to prevent the valve turning.
Check the condition of the rubber valve seating
and seat.
Assembly is in the reverse order. Do not
over-tighten the posidrive screws.
2.5 REMOVE AND DISMANTLE THE ORAL INFLATOR/DEFLATOR
Replace the flexible rubber button, support and
lock ring (Items 28, 29 and 30)
