3. Valve Inspection/Repair
Debris in the water way could cause damage to the internal seats and or valve ball. If
leakage is detected from the internal ball valve, the seats and ball should be inspected
and replaced as needed. The following procedure describes proper inspection and
replacement of valve components:
• Remove stream shaper and nozzle from monitor discharge elbow
• Position monitor with the discharge elbow in the vertical position
and lock the vertical joint by turning the lock handle clockwise. (See
Figure 7)
• Completely loosen the four hex bolts that fasten the upper portion
of the monitor to the valve body, then carefully remove the hex bolts
(See Figure 7)
NOTE: The upper portion of the monitor will no longer be fixed
to the lower part of the monitor once the four hex bolts are
removed. Care should be taken when handling the monitor.
