- 1 - Release air in the inflating tube by pressing the valve.
- 2 - Remove aluminum expanding section-for leaf and retainer construction, remove retainer screws. For interlocking segments, remove collor on end opposite from valve.
- 3 - To replace the air valve, insert new valve and bend copper extension 90° (approx.) to fit against shoulder and bend to body radius (See Fig. 1).
- 4 - Cut inflating tube on an angle, slide on the metal clip and the plastic sleeve (See Fig.2).
- 5 - Slide the metal clip over the plastic sleeve and push this assembly onto the valve extension (See Fig. 3).
- 6 - Close the metal clip by using end nippers as following: Close one ear halfway, close the other ear tight and finish closing the first ear tight. Do not nip off ears.
- 7 - Wind inflating tube along body to opposite end.
- 8 - Insert plug into end of tubing, cut inflating tube on an angle and slide it on the metal clip and plastic sleeve as explained in step #2 (See Fig. 4).
- 9 - Cut off excess tubing so end will be under a retainer or in the counter bore in body.
- 10 - Install leaf and retainers, tightening all retainer screws (leaf and retainer design) or slide expanding section onto air shaft body (interlocking segment design).
- 11 - Pressure test the whole assembly at 90 psi.
