13. Lay the arms of the lever (3) inside the groove of the
valve body (4), straddling the poppet shaft (7), so that the
curved portion of the lever faces away from the air outlet hole.
14. Place the washer(2) over the poppet shaft (7), followed
by the locknut (1), with the flat side facing down. Being care-
ful to avoid disturbing the lever, turn the locknut clockwise by
hand to engage the threads of the poppet, and then apply a
1/4" nut driver to turn it further; only until 1 thread of the
poppet shaft is visible above the top of the locknut.
15. Hold the valve body (4) with lever (3) stationary and
upright with one hand, and slowly unscrew the inlet fitting
(12) counter-clockwise to loosen and remove from beneath
it, while watching to ensure that the lever rises slightly as
the poppet shaft extends from the valve body. Remove and
discard the previously used LP seat from the inlet fitting.
16. After removing the previously used LP seat, reconnect
the valve body (4) and inlet fitting (12) and tighten finger snug
so that they are flush with each other.
