Remove secondary inlet and exhaust valve
assembly (items 5 through 9) from lower body.
Disassembly of secondary inlet and exhaust
valve assembly is not required since it is only
serviced as an assembly.
5.
Remove four hex head capscrews securing the
lower body (10) to upper body (11) and separate
the bodies.

CAUTION
Before proceeding with the disassembly
(refer to Fig. 8), note the ESNA nut and
stem are used to contain primary piston
return spring (17), stem spring (21) and
relay piston spring (14). Combined force
of these springs is approximately 222 N
(50 lbf) and care must be taken when
removing the ESNA nut as the spring
forces
will
be
released.
It
is
recommended that primary piston and
relay piston be manually or mechanically
contained while nut and stem are being
