To replace the valves
Typically, the two inhalation check valves installed in the nose cup assembly are not removed during maintenance;
however, if replacement is required, proceed as follows:
1 Grip the check valve disc with your fingers and pull off the valve seat. See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4 Valve assembly
2 Select new check valves and moisten the stem of the valve with a drop of clean
water.
3 From inside the nose cup, slip the stem of the valve into the center hole of the
valve seat. From outside the nose cup, gently pull the stem to seat the check
valve in the valve seat. See Figure 4-5.
4 Repeat with the other valve and trim excess stem as required.
