12. TECHNICAL DATA
ATS/456 (FIG. 7) is possible, but it is difficult without the use of
specially-adapted tools to hold the body and to unscrew the
pump heads.
When replacing the Pump, make sure that the arrows on the
Pump Heads point towards the top of the Power Unit.
Occasionally, debris may enter the Non Return Valves ATS/445
and ATS/446 (FIG. 7). These can be unscrewed using suitable
pliers. Wash out and blow through. These components can be
replaced if damaged.

Valve is located at bottom
right of Power Unit AJS/2006 (FIG. 2). To replace Diaphragm
ATS/435 (FIG. 10), unscrew top with moulded lugs, this will
expose Diaphragm for replacement.
To replace or remove complete Relief Valve, first remove
whole unit from wall and undo the one Philips Screw
securing the Relief Valve to the base. Unscrew the 3 nuts on
the Relief Valve, warm the tube ends and pull off gently
noting their positions.
