CAUTION:
•
Before removing retainer pins 9, 52, 59, 65,
and 71, record the positions of adjusting rings
4 or 82, 51, 58, 64, and 70 (Figure 6–18). To
retain the original calibration of the valve as-
sembly, the adjusting rings must be rein-
stalled in the same positions as when
removed. Adjusting rings are spring-loaded.
•
The main control valve body assembly con-
tains springs and other parts, some of which
are similar and can be mistakenly inter-
changed. If parts are not reinstalled in the
same locations from which they were re-
moved, the calibration of valve body func-
tions will be lost. Tag each part at removal
with its item number in Foldout 11 and utilize
valve body parts tray set J 33163 to simplify
correct reassembly of the valve body compo-
nents.
