■ Applying Oil To The Valve Slides
1.
Depress the piston that corresponds to the
slide that you want to apply oil and partially
remove the slide. Apply a few drops of tuning
slide oil.
* Do not apply too much oil.
2.
Hold the piston down and move the slide in
and out a few times.
3rd valve
* If you remove or replace the valve slide without
holding the piston down, the drop or buildup
of air pressure in the pipe can cause poor piston
function or damage to the inside of the pipe.
* The pistons must be oiled for them to function
properly and smoothly.
After applying slide oil to valve slides equipped
with a spring type slide trigger, hold the piston
down and move the slide in and out a few
times as you did before to distribute the oil
evenly.
