Step #1: Remove the Patch Cable

• Twist the ribbed portion of the patch cable connector in a counterclockwise

direction, until it unthreads from the connector. The cable can either be removed from

the intermediate or from the control module.

Step #2: Remove the AirVantage from the Pump

• Use a ½” socket and remove the four 5/16-18 x 5½ cap screws that hold the AirVantage to the

pump. Be sure to support the weight of the AirVantage while removing the last cap screw. After the

AirVantage is removed from the pump, carefully set the unit down on the plastic cover located on the

bottom.

STEP #3: Remove the Pilot Valve

• Remove the main air distribution valve body from the pump.

• Lift the pilot valve body out of the intermediate housing. (Most problems with the pilot valve can be

corrected by replacing the o-rings.)

STEP #4: Dissasemble the Pilot Valve

• Remove the pilot spool and wipe it clean. Inspect the spool and o-rings for dirt, cuts or wear.

Replace parts if necessary.

• Use a set of outside snap ring pliers and remove the retaining ring holding the sleeve in the pilot

valve body.

• Gently push the sleeve from the body and wipe it clean. Inspect the sleeve and o-rings.

• Replace parts if necessary

STEP #5: Inspect the Actuator Plungers

• Remove the plungers by sliding them out of the bushings. It may be necessary to use a fine piece of

wire to pull them out.

STEP #6: Reassemble the Pilot Valve

• Generously lubricate the o-rings on the pilot sleeve with multipurpose grease (BP-LSEP-2 or

equivalent).

• Carefully insert the sleeve in the pilot valve body on the chamfered side, taking care not to shear any

of the o-rings.

• Securely insert the retaining ring around the sleeve.

• Generously lubricate the o-rings on the pilot spool. Carefully insert the spool in the sleeve.

STEP #7: Reinstall the Pilot Valve

• Push both plungers (located inside the intermediate bracket) out of the path of the pilot valve spool

ends to avoid damage.

• If the pilot valve does not fit flush against the gasket, check to make sure the actuator plunger are pushed

all the way. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pilot valve or the actuators.

• Insert the pilot valve body onto the intermediate housing.

• Reinstall the main air distribution valve body onto the pump.

Step #8: Reassemble AirVantage and Cable

• Reinstall the AirVantage using the four 5/16-18 x 5½ cap screws and torque to 90 in-lbs.

• Reattach the patch cable connector that connects the AirVantage module to the intermediate.
