Gently lever the two solenoid retainer clips off the solenoid (see figure 29G).
This will allow you to split the solenoid into two and access the spool valve.
Using a pair of needle-nose pliers remove the spool shaft from the main section of
(see figure 29H). Note that it is the flat side of the spool shaft that is
the solenoid
facing you when you remove the spool shaft. It may be necessary to also remove
the front cap of the solenoid to push the shaft out, if it cannot be pulled out with the

needle nose pliers.
Thoroughly clean and inspect the spool shaft and its o-rings for any debris or dirt
(see figure 29I). Lubricate the o-rings using Eclipse Grease lubricant and re-insert
the spool shaft into the solenoid body, insuring that the concave end goes in first.
figure 29J shows the concave end and figure 29K shows the flat end.
Ensure the solenoid manifold is attached to the ETEK5 body before attempting to
attach the solenoid.
Replace the two solenoid retaining clips to the sides of the solenoid body.
Then having ensured that the small manifold gasket is in place screw the solenoid
back into the correct position on the manifold. For reference, the pilot end of the
solenoid with the metal casing should be towards the front of the marker as shown
in figure 29L. FIG 29L
You have now stripped and cleaned your ETEK5 solenoid.
