Maintenance
Master divider valve without performance indicators:
If testing in step 2 indicates a blockage in the master divider valve, this divider valve
must be disassembled and cleaned. See step 5 for instructions on correct procedure.
Action
1. With a manual pump connected to the master divider valve as outlined in step 1, raise
pressure to 2,000 PSI.
2. Remove one at a time each indicator port plug and attempt to operate the manual
pump after each plug is removed.
Do not exceed 2,000 PSI.
If pressure drops and master cycles freely after an indicator port plug is removed then
the blockage is downstream in the area that is being served from that outlet.
Seestep3.
3. If all indicator port plugs are removed and master will not cycle, the blockage is in this
divider valve.
When indicator port plug of a blocked area is removed a small shot of trapped lubricant
will usually surge out of this outlet as the inlet pressure on the divider valve drops.
