ASSEMBLY

1.Lubricate the smaller o-ring and check valve body with a heavy duty lithium grease.

2.Install this o-ring on the check valve body by sliding the o-ring over the set of four tapered guide lands. The o-ring groove holds the o-ring in its correct location.

3.At the other end of the check valve body, the spring is installed over the set of four straight guide lands. When the spring has been pushed to the correct location, the check valve body is designed to hold the end of the spring in position: be sure that the spring is not loose before continuing with this installation.

4.Install the assembled check valve body/o-ring/spring in the delivery port so that the o-ring rests on its seat and the free end of the spring is visible.

5.Grease the adapter and the remaining larger o-ring and install it onto the fitting.

6.Position the governor gasket, then insert the governor mounting bolts through the governor and tighten (to 125 in-lbs). Note: Do not replace with a standard compressor/governor gasket.

7.Re-attach line to the governor.

8.Before placing vehicle back into service, check to see that the system pressure now builds to full operational pressure.
