8)Remove the inlet nipple from the regulator body. The O-ring should be replaced if a scheduled overhaul is being performed.

9)Place the castle wrench in the inlet nipple side of the demand regulator over the soft seat of the inlet valve to prevent the inlet valve from rotating.

Install the socket wrench from the KMDSI Tool Kit (Part #525-620) through the adjustment tube and engage the adjustment nut on the inlet valve. Loosen and remove the adjustment nut by rotating the socket wrench coun- terclockwise.

The Castle Wrench and inlet valve.

10)Tilt the regulator and drop out the inlet valve and washer.

11)The spacer and lever will now fall out of the regulator body.

NOTE: Ensure that the washer comes out with the rest of the components.

12)Remove the screws that hold the exhaust flange in position. Remove the flange and gasket from the regulator body.

13)Remove the exhaust valve from the exhaust flange.

CAUTION

The inlet valve adjustment nut must never be reused. Reuse of the adjustment nut will not allow the regulator to maintain proper adjustment.
