5. Thread and securely fasten poppet guide assembly into lower cover
(recommended 200-250 in/lbs.)
6. Turnover lower cover, and assemble as an assembly lower stem
(21) retainer (18) and spring (19) into lower cover, being careful not
damage o-ring (20).
COMPLETING ASSEMBLY
1. Reassembly of twelve nuts (33) and bolts (32) should be torqued to
200-250 in/lbs. Note: assembly contains two longer bolts (item 32)
for the support bracket. These two bolts are to be assembled with
bracket (29) on the two larger support flats located on the lower
cover located 90 degrees from common/supply ports.
3. Install CDS6 Altitude Control assembly on main valve.
4. Replace tube lines and fittings exactly as removed.
5. Remove upper cover (13) from lower assembly, and push stem
assembly through.
6. Remove diaphragm washer nut (12), diaphragm nut washer (16) and
diaphragm (14)
7. Separate upper stem from diaphragm washer by removing stem
retaining pin. (11)
8. Inspect all parts for damage, wear and mineral deposits.
Check O-ring (10) for wear, inspect and remove any deposit in O-ring
area. Also inspect diaphragm for wear or cracks. Clean parts
thoroughly and replace damaged parts as necessary. If, upon
disassembly, sand and silt are found in the CDS6 Altitude Control,
every effort must be made to eliminate this problem. Filters, or
relocating the reservoir sensing line may be required if deposits are
found in the sensing chamber of the control.
REASSEMBLY OF UPPER SPRING ASSEMBLY
1. Reassembly is in general, the reverse of disassembly. NOTE: A light
coating of Dow Corning 33 grease, or equivalent, should be applied
to CDS6 Altitude Control stems (5), before reassembly.
2. When replacing adjusting nut (4) tighten the same number of
turns as referred to in note in paragraph (1) of "Disassembly Of
Upper Spring Section".
DISASSEMBLY OF LOWER PILOT VALVE SECTION
1. Disassemble control per steps 1 through 5 in "Disassembly of upper
section", to work on lower (pilot) cover (17)
2. Remove lower stem (21) spring (19) and retaining ring (18) as an
assembly, inspect stem for damage.
3. Remove Poppet guide (28) and o-ring (27) from lower cover (17).
4. Remove Poppet (22-1) and poppet spring (26) and inspect poppet
and disc for damage.
5. Remove Strainer screen (25)
6. Remove seat (24), Note: be sure not to nick or ding exposed sealing
surface. To prevent binding and damage, use a wood dowel to
evenly tap out the seat from TOP of lower cover (area from which
lower stem was removed).
7. Inspect all parts for damage, wear and mineral deposits. If there
has been discharge from vent hole, remove o-ring (20) from lower
cover (17) and poppet guide (28). Inspect o-rings for wear or
damage and o-ring groove for material build-up. Clean and/or
replace as necessary. Inspect seat (24) and disc poppet assembly
(22) for wear or damage. If poppet and/or disc are damaged they
must be replaced as an assembly (item 22). Otherwise clean and
polish surfaces of moving parts with 600 wet/dry sandpaper. Also
clean strainer screen (25) of any deposits
REASSEMBLY OF LOWER PILOT VALVE SECTION
1. Reassembly is in general, the reversal of disassembly. Note: A light
coating of Dow Corning 33 grease, or equivalent should be applied
to all o-rings and moving part surfaces (20,21,22-1 23 and 27).
2. Lay lower cover (17) on its top (do not damage serrated surface),
insert the seat (24) with o-ring (23) in lower (pilot) cover with finger.
Use a wood dowel to push the seat in fully with hand pressure
ONLY. Note: damage to the seat can compromise the sealing
ability of the control, and careful efforts must be applied on
reassembly of this component.
3. Insert strainer (25).
4. Install poppet guide, o-ring, spring and poppet assembly.
