3k. Replace O‐ring(s).
3d. I/P converter ass'y damaged/corroded/clogged. 3l. Check for bent flapper, open coil (continuity), contamination,
staining, or dirty air supply. Coil resistance should be between
1680 ‐ 1860 ohms. Replace I/P assembly if damaged, corroded,
clogged, or open coil.
3e. I/P converter ass'y out of spec. 3m. I/P converter ass'y nozzle may have been adjusted. Verify
drive signal (55 to 80% for double‐acting; 60 to 85% for
single‐acting) with the valve off the stops. Replace I/P converter
assembly if drive signal is continuously high or low.
