4. Remove the two pieces of tubing from the top of the valve. PUSH IN on the outer
collet to release the tubing or the elbow. Plug the open ends to prevent dirt from
entering the lines and to stop the oil from leaking (be careful to not split the
elbow).
5. Use a 9/16" open-end wrench to remove the bottom half of the valve. Do not
pinch the small wires on the base of the valve. Keep track of the thin shim
washer(s) on the valve. Make sure to use the same washer(s) during re-assembly.

6. The top section of the valve should be blown out with a canister of compressed air.
Air should flow freely from the bottom through both sides at the top. A few short
bursts of canned air in both holes should displace any debris. Alcohol can also be
used to remove any build-up of sediment. (Do not use an air compressor to blow
out the valve; water in the air lines may be forced into the manifold.)
7. The bottom section contains a plunger and spring. Make sure the three grooves
on the sides of the plunger are clean. This part should be cleaned with a cotton
swab and alcohol to remove the debris.
IMPORTANT: If a valve is found to have only one groove please call KEGEL for an
immediate replacement. All machines should have the "high flow" valves which
are machined with three grooves. Please call (863) 734-0200 if a replacement is
needed.
8. Replace the valve body on the head of the valve using the same shim washer(s).
9. Replace the valve on the back plate.
10. Plug the line or elbow back into its proper fitting and clean around all the
connections.
