OPERATION
Applying
When the lever is actuated in the delivery position,
the hollow plunger of the valve is depressed and makes
contact with the inlet valve and unseats it. In this
position the exhaust passage through the hollow plunger
is closed and air from the inlet port has free passage
through the two-way valve and out the delivery port to the
device being operated.
Releasing
When the lever is released, the plunger is raised by
the plunger spring and the inlet valve moves to its seat
and is held closed by the inlet valve spring and inlet air
pressure. Any air pressure in line or lines connecting the
two-way valve with the device being operated will be
exhausted through the hollow plunger and exhaust
opening near the top of the valve.
MAINTENANCE
Once each year or every 160,000 km (100,000
miles) the two-way valve should be disassembled and
thoroughly cleaned. Replace all grommets and inlet
valves worn or damaged in any way.
SEURVICE CHECKS
Operation Test
Plug one delivery port and install an air pressure test
gauge in remaining port. Install second CTS-4079 C ir
pressure gauge in the air inlet line. With air connected to
the inlet port, place the lever in applied position. The air
gauge in the delivery port should read the same as the
gauge installed in air inlet line.
Leakage Test
With air supplied to the inlet port of the two-way
valve and the lever in released position, use Leak
Detector Tester (SE-2326) at exhaust opening at top of
the valve (where lever enters valve) to locate any leak.
Move lever or button to applied position and check
exhaust opening with Leak Detector Tester (SE-2326) to
locate leakage past exhaust plunger.
