Operating Manual Servicing Procedure
6. REMOVE THE VALVE SPOOL- In order to replace the O-Rings located on the
Valve Spool take hold of the end of the Spool and pull it out. Be careful extracting
the Spool as a spring will come out with it. Make sure not to loose this spring as it
belongs in the hole at the end of the Spool. Replace the O-Rings and apply a thin
coat of Lubriplate to the O-Rings
NOTE:
Follow Steps 8 through 16 to
replace the O-rings on the
Valve Liner. If they do not
need replacing go to step
17.
7. REMOVE THE VALVE LINER- Attempt to pull the Valve Liner out of the gun
handle through the trigger hole. If successful, proceed to Step
Liner can not be removed, proceed to Step

8. REMOVE REAR 1/8” HEX NIPPLE- Leaving the Safety Slide Valve and Air
Hose in place, use the 6” Adjustable Wrench to remove the 1/8” Hex Nipple.
9. REMOVE THE REAR INTERNAL 1/16” PIPE PLUG- Deeper in the hole that
the 1/8” Hex Nipple was removed from locate the 1/16” Pipe Plug. This Plug seals
the airflow located internally in the Gun Handle. Remove that Plug using the 5/32”
Hex Key.
10. REMOVE THE SPRING SEAT- Looking into the hole from which both Plugs
were removed the brass surface of the Spring Seat can be seen. Using a Pin Punch
of ¼” diameter or less, and a hammer, gently tap the Spring Seat until both it and the
Valve Liner are pushed out the opposite end of the hole.
11. REMOVE & REPLACE THE O-RINGS- Remove and replace the four O-Rings
on the Liner. Apply a light coat of Lubriplate Grease to the O-Rings.

13. REINSTALL THE SPRING SEAT- Slide the brass Spring Seat back into the Gun
Handle Air Valve hole tapered end first until it bottoms out in the hole.
14. REINSTALL THE VALVE LINER- Push in the brown Valve Liner as far as it
will go. Since there is interference between the O-rings on the Valve Liner and the
inside diameter of the hole a fair amount of resistance will be encountered. Once the
Liner has been pushed in far enough two or three internal threads will be visible.
These threads will allow engagement of the Valve Retainer Nut which when
screwed in, will align the Valve Liner and Spool to their proper depth.
NOTE:
Skip Steps 15 and 16 if the 1/8”
Hex Nipple was not removed.
15. REINSTALL THE 1/16” PLUG- Using the 5/32” Hex Key screw the 1/16” Pipe
plug back in place. Apply a small amount of pipe thread sealant to the threads prior
to insertion. This will help seal the threads and prevent air leaks.
16. REINSTALL THE 1/8” HEX NIPPLE- Apply a small amount of pipe thread
sealant to the threads of the Hex Nipple. Using the 6” Adjustable Wrench reinstall
the 1/8”Hex Nipple with the Safety Slide Valve and Air Hose in place.
17. REINSTALL THE VALVE SPOOL- Insert the Valve Spool, with the Valve Spool
Spring in place into the Valve Liner. Screw in the Valve Retainer Nut. Be careful
not to over tighten it, just tighten until it is “snug”.
18. REASSEMBLE THE TRIGGER LEVER- Reinstall the Trigger Lever using the
