  • Page 24: Service Instructions

    Service Instructions 1) Drive Assembly Disassembly and Inspection: Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly. The drive brac ket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and the piston or the drive gear cover. It is not necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket.
  • Page 25 Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover.
  • Page 26 3) Main Piston and Regenerant Piston Disassembly and Inspection: Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston and depending on the configuration, a regenerant piston. The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by unsnapping it from its disassembly latch.
