supply line from the pump.
STEP #1: See Composite Repair and
Parts Drawing.
Using a 5 /

" Allen wrench, remove
the four hex socket capscrews (item 13)
and four flat washers (item 39). Remove
the air valve assembly from the pump.
Remove and inspect gasket (item 23)
for cracks or damage. Replace gasket if
needed.
STEP #2: Disassembly of the air valve.
To access the internal air valve
components first remove the two retaining
rings (item 1-H) from each end of the air
valve assembly using clip ring pliers.
Next remove the two end caps (item
1-E). Inspect the o-rings (item 1-G) for
cuts or wear. Replace the o-rings if
necessary.
Remove the two bumpers (item 1-C).
Inspect the bumpers for cuts, wear or
abrasion. Replace if necessary.
Remove the spool (part of item 1-A)
from the sleeve. Be careful not to stratch
or damage the outer diameter of the
spool. Wipe spool with a soft cloth and
inspect for scratches or wear.
Inspect the inner diameter of the
sleeve (part of item 1-A) for dirt,
scratches, or other contaminates.
Remove the sleeve if needed and replace
both the sleeve and spool with a new

STEP #3: Reassembly of the air valve.
Install one end cap (item 1-E) with
an o-ring (item 1-G) and one bumper

installing the sleeve into the valve body
(item 1-B), align the slots in the sleeve
with the slots in the valve body. Insert
the spool into the sleeve. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the spool during
installation. Push the spool in until it
touches the bumper on the opposite end.
Install the remaining bumper, end cap
