Pump Valve Assembly Cleaning
Instructions
1. Using a small screwdriver, remove the two valve
retention caps located in the oval shaped opening on
the underside of the Calibrator.
2. After the caps have been removed, gently remove the
spring and o-ring assembly.
3. Set aside the valve assemblies in a safe area and
clean out the valve body using a cotton swab soaked
in IPA (isopropyl alcohol).
4. Repeat this process several times using a new cotton
swab each time until there is no remaining sign of
residue.
5. Pump the unit several times and check again for
residue.
6. Clean the o-ring assembly and o-ring on the retention
caps with IPA and inspect the o-rings closely for any
cuts, nicks, or wear. Replace if needed.
7. Inspect the springs for wear or loss of tension. They
should be approximately 8.6 mm long in the relaxed
state. If they are shorter than this, they may not allow
the o-ring to seat properly. Replace if needed.
