8.0 SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR THE ZEAGLE RaZor, Filler Valve and Whip
8.0.1 Before you begin disassembly of the regulator, test the Filler Whip and Hose for smoothness of opera-
tion and leakage. Pre-testing in this way will help the technician to pinpoint any specific problems requiring
repair.
8.0.2 The work area must be clean and well lighted, with clean compressed air available to
blow sand and dirt from parts. You’ll need a sturdy vise bolted to a secure workbench.

8.2 DISASSEMBLY OF THE FILLER VALVE FOR OVERHAUL
To view all of the parts used in the RaZor first stage, look at the page before this one in this manual. The
bracketed numbers in the text refer to the corresponding circled item numbers on the exploded view draw-
ing.
NOTE: Your Filler Valve may be equipped with the Screw on threaded connection (1,2,3,4,5) or the High
Pressure Quick-Disconnect (22). Adjust your service procedure accordingly.
8.2.1 Inspect the filler hose (10) carefully. Look for any cracks, cuts or severe abrasions. Replace if neces-
sary.
8.2.2 Use two wrenches, or a vise and wrench to remove the valve assembly from the hose. Unless it is
damaged or leaking, leave the Nylon Washer (23) in the Valve Body (8) during the entire overhaul.
8.2.3 Position the valve assembly in a vise, clamping it by the body. Remove the gauge (9) from the valve
body with a 6” or 8” adjustable wrench.
8.2.4 If your filler valve has a Quick Disconnect Fitting (22), remove it from the valve body with a wrench. It
is not practical to remove or replace the small ball bearings from the QD fitting. If they are worn or missing,
the entire QD Fitting (22) is replaced. The O-ring in the end of the QD Fitting is removed by piercing it with
a pin and flipping it out. Discard the O-ring. Go to step 8.2.8 below. Unless it is damaged or leaking, leave
the Nylon Washer (23) in the Valve Body (8) during the entire overhaul.
8.2.5 If your filler valve has a Threaded Handwheel Fitting, remove the filler handwheel (1) from the Swivel
Assembly (5) with a wrench.
