Component Exercise 45
Step 2
Important
By turning the stem of the Grease Gun (23) at a rate of 4 to 6 turns per minute, the lubricant is
forced through the Slide Valve Seat (18) channels at a rate that allows the lubricant to travel
freely, yet not separate the valve strip from the valve seat. This method will keep fresh grease in
the lubrication passages.
3. Close Bleeder Valve (10B).
3.1.2 Component Exercise
In order to perform the maintenance operation described in this section, the following
component excise start check list must be met:
• The slide valve must be in the “CLOSED” position,
• The Bleeder Valve (10B) must be in the “CLOSED” position.
• The Equalizer Valve (1) must be in the “OPEN” position.
At this point the fluid pressure in the Top (14) will equal the fluid pressure in the Body (4).
1. If the differential pressure is greater than 200 inches of H O, reduce the differential
pressure across the meter to a maximum of (200 inches of H O) 7.2 psig.
2. Rotate the Upper Plate Carrier Shaft (7) located in the Top (14) several times in both
directions. The Shaft (7) should turn freely.
3. Rotate the Slide Valve Shaft (5) in one direction until it stops. Then rotate the Slide Valve
Shaft (5) in the opposite direction until it stops. Repeat this sequence several times. The
