REQUIREMENTS
Prior to beginning the installation, read the
ENTIRE “Installation” section of this manual.
Since the RAGE® Truck mount unit weighs
(with standard waste tank and hoses)
approximately 858 lbs., please adhere to the
following recommendations prior to installing the
unit.
!
The console and waste tank with accessories
must NOT exceed the vehicle’s axle weight
limit.
1. If mounting the unit in a trailer, ensure that the
trailer is rated for the total weight of the unit and trailer. Electric or hydraulic brakes must be
provided, and strict compliance with all State and
Federal laws must be maintained.
2. If mounting in a trailer, the RAGE
must be positioned so that it balances properly
with respect to the trailer axle. Ten percent (10%)
of the unit’s total overall weight (w/o accessories
or water) should be on the tongue. This unit has
an air cooled engine, and adequate ventilation
must be provided to prevent overheating.
3. If mounting in a trailer, the external fuel
tank must meet EPA requirements for
compliance.
3. The vehicle tires must have a load rating in
excess of the combined unit and vehicle weight.
4. SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC does not
recommend using any type of flooring materials
that absorb water. This condition will result in
rust and corrosion of the vehicle floor.
5. Insulation under rubber mats should be
removed prior to installation of the unit.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use unleaded fuel ONLY. Use only fresh, clean
unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 87. Do Not use high octane gasoline. Gasoline
with up to, not exceeding, 10% ethanol is
acceptable.
NOTE: Using other gasoline/alcohol blends
including E20 and E85 will cause damage to
engine components and will void warranty.
ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use high-quality oil of at least API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher. Do not use additives. High quality 30W
oil is recommended. A 10-30 synthetic blend
may be used after 50 hours of operation for a new
or rebuilt engine to allow the piston rings to
properly seat. It is never recommended to extend
oil change intervals past 100 hours.
NOTE: Using lower service class oil or
extending oil change intervals longer than
recommended can cause engine damage.
NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed
classifications may be used with oil changes
performed at recommended intervals. However to
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least 50
hours using standard petroleum based oil before
switching to synthetic oil.

CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC RAGE® Truck
mount unit’s unique last step chemical injection
system can be used with a wide variety of water
diluted chemical compounds, either acidic or
alkaline, depending on the work to be performed.
We recommend using only SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC and CHEMSPEC brand
chemistry.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Because hard water deposits will damage the
plumbing and heat exchange systems on this unit,
SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC recommends that a
high quality water softener be used in areas
where the water hardness exceeds 3½ grains. If a
water softener is used, it must have a flow
capacity of at least five (5) GPM or greater,
without any hose constrictions.
The use of a water softening system will reduce
maintenance and reduce down time caused by
hard water scaling. It will also enhance the
performance of cleaning chemicals, which will
result in greater efficiency in lower
concentration.

NOTE: Read and understand this section of
the manual entirely before proceeding.
This portion of the manual divides the unit up
into systems and describes how each system
works. Prior to proceeding into the operations
and maintenance sections of this manual it is
recommended that you acquire a basic
understanding of how the unit functions.
WATER/HEATING SYSTEM
Cold water enters the water box and flows
through a float valve, which shuts off the water
when the water box is full.
The water then flows to the water pump where it
is pressurized. From there it flows to the heat
exchanger where it travels through tubing and is
heated by the vacuum blower and engine exhaust.
The hot water then flows through the check valve
manifold that contains a strainer and a check
valve. At this point, the chemical injection takes
place.
The hot solution mixture of water and chemicals
then flows through the solution outlet manifold to
the cleaning tool.

VACUUM SYSTEM
The engine turning an air pump (vacuum pump)
generates vacuum. The air is channeled in one
side of the vacuum pump, compressed and
discharged on the opposite side, creating airflow.
This airflow is used to do the work necessary for
the extraction process. A vacuum nozzle applied
to the carpet surface removes moisture, dirt and
spent chemicals. These elements are conveyed
back to a separating tank utilizing hoses and the
force of air. Particles of moisture and dirt are
separated in the vacuum tank using a series of
changes in direction and velocity. The air is then
filtered and rushes into the vacuum pump.
The vacuum pump also heats incoming air as it is
compressed. The hot discharged air is forced
down
stream into a silencer for noise abatement.
Exiting the silencer, this hot air is directed
through the heat exchanger
The vacuum pump speed is factory set to
maximize vacuum and provide sustained system
life. Do not alter the vacuum speed outside the
recommended range shown in the Technical
Specifications section.
A level shut off sensor is located near the top of
the waste tank and will shut down the unit before
the tank is at full capacity. This protects the
vacuum pump from water damage. Note: Waste
tank level shut off will not shut the unit off due to
high levels of foam. The use of a quality
defoamer is recommended.

The chemicals are drawn from the chemical
container through a strainer into the flow meter
mounted on the control panel. The flow meter
indicates the rate of chemical flow.
The chemical then flows through the stainless
steel chemical pump, the chemical is then
injected into a three way selector valve located
on the front panel. This valve may be used to turn
the chemical flow ON, OFF, or to PRIME the
chemical pump.
The chemicals then flow through the chemical
metering valve to the solution outlet. This valve
controls the rate of flow of chemical into the
cleaning solution, which is indicated on the flow
meter.

ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE FUEL
Check the fuel tank to ensure there is adequate
fuel to complete the job and transport the vehicle.
This unit consumes approximately 1 US gallon of
fuel per hour, depending on the speed setting.
REMOVE TOOLS FROM THE VEHICLE
Remove any tools, accessories or hoses from the
vehicle that you will require.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
NOTE: Prior to connecting your water inlet hose
to any supply faucet, flush out the faucet until the
water is free of any debris. Also, flush out any
debris from your water inlet hose.
1. Connect the water supply hose to the water
inlet quick connector on the water box. Connect
the hose to the faucet.
NOTE: Never use a waste pump outlet hose as a
water inlet hose. Use only clean hoses for water
supply.
2. Turn the water supply faucet on. Water will
fill the water box.
PART# 49-057 REV K SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC RAGE

STARTING THE UNIT
!
1. Set throttle control in.
2. Pull out engine choke.
3. Press and hold the OVERRIDE button while
turning the ignition key to start the engine.
4. Push in engine choke after engine has started.
5. Let the engine warm up at 1/2 throttle.
6. Set throttle control to maximum.
Note: Do not operate the unit with throttle
control set below 50% of maximum throttle
setting.
NOTE: If the unit does not build water pressure
after 5 seconds, check for adequate water supply.
See “Loss of Water Pump Pressure in the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
VACUUM HOSE
Connect the vacuum hose(s) to the vacuum inlet
connection at the front of the unit. Connect the
opposite end of the vacuum hose(s) the cleaning
tool. Let the unit run for a few minutes with the
vacuum inlets partially blocked off to warm up
the cleaning solution.
SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC recommends that the
total floor tool size does not exceed #6. Using
larger jet sizes on your RAGE® unit may reduce
cleaning temperatures.
PRIMING THE CHEMICAL PUMP
NOTE: SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC recommends
that the chemical pump be primed whenever the
water pump is on. This eliminates possible
pressure fluctuations and water pump pulsations
related with running the chemical pump dry.
NOTE: When inserting the chemical tube into
the chemical container, ensure that it stays
submerged, as the chemical pump will not
function if air is allowed to enter the inlet line.
2. Turn the 3-way chemical selector valve located
on the control panel to the PRIME position. The
chemical will then flow from the chemical
container through the chemical prime tube.
If the pump does not prime, then:
Seal off the vacuum port. The vacuum will
quickly draw chemical from the chemical
container. After the flow begins, turn the
chemical selector valve to OFF position and
turn the chemical selector valve back to the
PRIME position and continue the procedure.
3. When the chemical flows with no air bubbles,
priming has been achieved. Turn the chemical
selector valve from PRIME to METER. With
the cleaning tool open, check the flow meter and
adjust the chemical metering valve until the
desired rate of chemical flow is achieved.
AUTOMATIC WASTE PUMP
1. If your unit is equipped with an optional
automatic waste pump, connect one end of the ⅝
in. or larger garden hose to the pump-out
connection and the other end to an acceptable
waste disposal.
2. Turn the pump-out switch located on the front
console control panel to the ON position. The
waste pump will now operate automatically
throughout the cleaning period.
DO NOT use an outlet hose that is smaller than
⅝ in. I.D.
NEVER use a waste pump hose as a water inlet
hose.
1. Insert the chemical prime tube and the
chemical inlet tube into the chemical container.

21
!
NEVER dispose of waste water in a storm drain,
water way or on ground areas. Always dispose of
waste in accordance with Local, State and
Federal laws.
OPERATION
When operating the unit for cleaning or
restoration, the unit should be in the
maximum throttle position. This ensures full
vacuum and performance from the unit.
NOTE: During flood extraction the throttle
control must be set to maximum.
CLEANING
While cleaning, observe the following guidelines:
1. Before cleaning, ensure that the wand nozzles
are functioning properly.
A. Hold the wand approximately one foot
above the surface to be cleaned and open
the wand valve. A full even spray should
emit from the cleaning nozzles.
B. If the nozzles are not showing a full even
spray pattern, adjust, clean, or replace the
nozzles, if required.
2. Usually, chemical solution is applied during
the push stroke of the wand during cleaning, and
extraction is done on the pull stroke. For heavily
soiled carpets, the wand may be used in a
scrubbing action, with chemical solution applied
in both push and pull strokes, provided that the
final stroke is a pull stroke with no chemical
injection.
UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
1. Upholstery tools have a lower flow rate and
smaller orifices. It may be necessary to slow the
engine down and partially open the bypass valve
to maintain proper cleaning.
FLOOD
RESTORATION/EXTRACTION
This machine can be used for limited water
extraction only if connected to an adequate water
source and the bypass valve is opened 1/4 turn.
!
NEVER RUN THE PRESSURE PUMP DRY.
Doing so will quickly build up heat in the pump
which may cause severe damage to internal
components
An automatic waste pump-out is highly
recommended when performing flood extraction
to avoid shutdown from filling the waste tank.
1. Set the throttle control cable on the front
control panel to maximum.
2. If an automatic waste pump-out is equipped,
set the PUMP OUT switch to the ON position.
3. Proceed into the extraction process.
To prevent excess heat build-up in the unit, do
not restrict air flow to the wand head when not
extracting water. If the wand must be placed
down, position the head sideways or upside
down.
NOTE: A float shut-off switch is located inside
of the waste tank. It will automatically shut
down the unit if the tank reaches its full
capacity. If this occurs, empty the waste tank
before continuing.

HEAT BYPASS OPERATION
The heat bypass has 2 purposes.
1. To cool down the unit at the end of the job
when using for carpet cleaning. When finished
with the job, open the heat bypass while coiling
up the hoses to allow water to circulate through
the unit and prevent excess heat buildup.
2. In flood extraction mode, open the valve 1/4
turn to keep water circulating through the
pump to prevent pump overheating and
premature failure.
SHUT DOWN AND DAILY
MAINTENANCE
1. Flush out the chemical system with fresh water
to remove any chemical residue.
2. Remove as much moisture from the vacuum
hoses as possible. This will prevent spillage of
wastewater in your vehicle when returning hoses.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the front of
the unit.
4. Adjust the throttle cable to the idle position.
5. Allow the unit to run at 50% throttle for a few minutes. This will also help to remove any
excess moisture from the vacuum pump and cool
the unit down.
NOTE: If shutting down for the day: Plug the
vacuum inlet on the front of the unit and set the
throttle control cable to high. Spray WD-40 (or
equivalent) into the blower lubrication cup,
located on the left hand side of the control panel
for 5 seconds. Let machine run 2 minutes to
disperse lube to blower. Unplug the vacuum inlet
and remove load. Next, return the throttle control
cable to idle position, and let idle for 3 to 5
minutes.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the water supply faucet off. Loosen the
water supply hose at the water supply to bleed off
any pressure. Unhook the water supply hose and
return it to the vehicle.
8. Activate the valves on all cleaning tools. This
will relieve any remaining pressure. Disconnect
the cleaning tools and solution hoses and return
them to the vehicle.
9. Drain the waste tank, disposing of wastewater
in a suitable and proper location.
!
NEVER dispose of wastewater in a storm drain,
water way or on ground areas. Always dispose of
waste in accordance with Local, State, and
Federal laws.
10. Remove the strainer basket from the waste
tank. Clean out any debris and re-install.
Microban QGC cleaner is the best product for
cleaning and sanitizing the waste tanks as well as
other parts of the system
NOTE: Damage may occur to the vacuum pump.
Replacement and maintenance of the filter will
prevent rust and corrosion from entering the
vacuum pump.
11. Inspect the vacuum inlet filter inside the
waste tank daily. Remove and clean the filter if
there is any lint or debris present.
NOTE: To remove the vacuum inlet filter, grip
the plastic hexagon section of the filter. Gripping
the filter by the screen will collapse or destroy
the filter. After cleaning, grease the threads on
the filter and replace the filter. Tighten the filter
until hand tight and then loosen ¼ turn. This will
make the filter easier to remove when cleaning or
replacement is required.
NEVER operate this unit with the filter removed,
damaged or improperly installed.

13. Clean the vehicle interior, unit, tools, hoses
etc., as needed. Inspect ALL equipment and
accessories for any damage, leaks, wear, etc.
FREEZE PROTECTION
!
If the unit is exposed to freezing weather
conditions, the water inside of the unit may
freeze, resulting in SERIOUS DAMAGE to
the unit. The following is recommended to
prevent this from occurring during the cold
weather season:
1. Always park the unit in a heated building when
not in use.
2. While out in operation, avoid long periods of
shut down as the unit generates heat while
running.
3. If a heated building is not available, winterize
the unit with anti-freeze.
It is not possible to winterize units that have
auxiliary water tanks. If the unit has an auxiliary
water tank(s), it must be stored in a heated
building.
WINTERIZING YOUR UNIT WITH ANTIFREEZE:
1. Shut off the water supply to the unit and
disconnect the water inlet hose from the water
box.
2. Connect all solution hoses and a tool to the
console.
3. Start the unit.
4. Fill the water box with one gallonof 100%
glycol based anti-freeze.
5. Start the unit and set the throttle control cable
to the idle position. Insure the water pump is on.
Open a tool valve until anti-freeze comes out of
the tool. Repeat this procedure with ALL
remaining tools and hoses.
6. After the tools and solution hoses have been
filled with anti-freeze, disconnect and store them.
Recover all anti-freeze that comes out of the
tools and hoses and store in an approved
container. ALWAYS re-use or re-cycle antifreeze.
7. Prime the chemical injection system with a
100% glycol based antifreeze. Insert the chemical
inlet and prime tube into the anti-freeze
container. Turn the chemical valve to PRIME
until anti-freeze comes out of the prime hose.
Turn the chemical valve to the ON (chemical)
position. Ensure that the flow meter indicates
flow while the attached tools solution valves are
opened. Ensure that all anti-freeze that comes out
of the chemical hose goes into an approved
container.
After 25 seconds, turn the chemical valve to the
OFF position.
8. Allow the unit to run for at least 3 minutes.
The unit is now winterized.
REMOVING ANTI-FREEZE FROM THE
UNIT:
1. Connect the solution hoses to the unit, with a
tool attached to the opposite end. Start the unit.
Turn the water pump on. Open the tool valve and
ensure that the anti-freeze goes into an approved
container. Allow the anti-freeze to flow into the
container until all anti-freeze has been drained.
2. Fill the water box with fresh water and repeat
step 1.
3. Connect the water inlet hose to the unit and
turn the water supply on. Connect all tools and
solution hoses that were winterized to the
solution outlet connection.

Page 30
SECTION 3
24
REMOVING ANTI-FREEZE FROM THE
UNIT CONTINUED:
Open all tool valves and drain the anti-freeze into
an approved container until the water runs clear
and all of the anti-freeze is purged from the hoses
and tools.
4. Insert the chemical prime hose into the
approved container. Submerge the chemical hose
into fresh water. Turn the chemical valve to the
PRIME position until the water runs clear
through the prime hose. Remove the prime hose
from the container.
5. Turn the chemical valve to the ON (chemical)
position and open attached tools solution valves.
This will allow water to flow to the other side of
the system.
After all of the anti-freeze has been removed, the
unit is ready to operate.
The anti-freeze in your approved storage
container will eventually become diluted with
water. When the anti-freeze level drops below
70% of the total mixture, properly dispose of it
and start over with fresh 100% anti-freeze.
!
DO NOT drain used anti-freeze on the ground
or into storm drains.
Dispose of anti-freeze only in an approved
location. Observe Local, State and Federal
laws when disposing of anti-freeze.

7. MAINTENANCE
This section of the operator’s manual contains
the service and maintenance information for the
RAGE® unit. A planned preventative
maintenance program will ensure that your
SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFICRAGE® has
optimum performance, long operating life, and a
minimum amount of down time.
ENGINE
1. Check the engine oil level daily. Ensure that
the proper oil level is maintained. NEVER
overfill.
2. Change the oil after the first 5 to 8 hours of
operation. Thereafter, change oil and oil filter
every 50 to 100 hours of operation.
USE ONLY KOHLER OIL FILTERS. USE OF
ANY OTHER TYPE OF OIL FILTER WILL
VOID ENGINE WARRANTY.
Use high-quality oil of at least API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SJ or higher.
Do not use additives. High quality 30W oil is
recommended. A 10-30 synthetic blend may be
used after 50 hours of operation for a new or
rebuilt engine to allow the piston rings to
properly seat. It is never recommended to extend
oil change intervals past 100 hours.
!
DO NOT attempt to service this unit while it is
running. High speed parts as well as high
temperature components may result in severe
injury, severed limbs, or fatality.
NOTE: Refer to the hour meter as a guide for
coordinating a maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Using a lower service class oil or
extending oil change intervals longer than
recommended can cause engine damage.
NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed
classifications may be used with oil changes
performed at recommended intervals. However to
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least 50
hours using standard petroleum based oil before
switching to synthetic oil.
3. Check the spark plugs every 200 hours and
clean if necessary. Replace spark plugs every
1000 hours.NEVER sandblast spark plugs.

VACUUM HOSES
To ensure maximum hose life, SAPPHIRE
SCIENTIFIC recommends that you wash out
the hoses with fresh water daily. Microban QGC
cleaner as the best product for cleaning and
sanitizing the wands and hoses as well as other
parts of the system
BATTERY
3. Battery terminals should be cleaned every 100
hours to prevent corrosion buildup. Wash the
cables, terminals and external surfaces with a
mild baking soda and water solution. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water. DO NOT allow
baking soda to enter the battery cells, as this will
destroy the electrolyte, resulting in battery failure
HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTION
HOSES
Inspect your high-pressure solution hoses for
wear after the first 100 hours. Thereafter, inspect
every 25 hours. If the hoses show any signs of
damage or impending rupture, replace the hoses.
!
Explosive gases, Dangerous acid!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid
burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Batteries also produce explosive hydrogen gases
while charging. To prevent fire or explosion,
charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
Keep sparks, open flames, as well as any other
sources of ignition away from batteries at all
times. Remove all jewelry prior to servicing
batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
Before disconnecting the negative (−) ground
cable, ensure that all switches are in the OFF
position. If ON, a spark could occur at the
ground connection terminal which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline
vapors are present. ALWAYS disconnect the
negative (−) terminal first.
1. If you do not have a maintenance free sealed
battery, check the fluid level in the battery at
least once a week. If low, fill to the
recommended level ONLY with distilled water.
DO NOT overfill the battery. Early failure or
poor performance will result due to loss of
electrolyte.
2. Keep cables, terminals and external surfaces of
the battery clean and dry. A buildup of corrosive
acid or grime on the external surfaces could
cause the battery to self-discharge.
!
NEVER attempt to repair high-pressure
solution hoses. Repairing high-pressure
solution hoses may result in severe burns and
serious injury.
All high-pressure solution hoses must be rated
for 3000 PSI at 250 deg. F. Thermoplastic
hoses do not meet this requirement and should
not be used. Severe burns and injury may
result if the hoses do not meet these
requirements.

ADJUSTMENTS
DO NOT attempt to service this unit while it is
running. High speed parts as well as high
temperature components may result in severe
injury, severed limbs, or fatality.
ENGINE SPEED
1. To adjust the engine RPM, refer to the Engine
Operation and Service Manual for specific
instructions.
DO NOT attempt to adjust without a tachometer
and NEVER adjust the engine above 3200 RPM.
VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
With the unit running at full RPM, block off the
airflow at the vacuum inlet port and read the
vacuum gauge. If adjustment is required, shut the
unit down and adjust the locking nut tension on
the vacuum relief valve. Re-start the unit and
read the vacuum gauge. Repeat this process until
the vacuum relief valve opens at 13” Hg. Always
ensure the lock nut is retightened.
WATER PUMP DRIVE BELT
To tighten the water pump belt:
1. Loosen the four nuts, which hold the water
pump base to the frame.
2. Adjust the position of the belt tensioning.
3. While checking the alignment, tighten the nuts
that hold the water pump to the base.

SOLUTION OUTLET CHECK
VALVE
Inspect the check valve whenever performing
service on the chemical pump or if flow problems
are occurring in the chemical system.
1. Remove the check valve, ensuring that the
small o-ring on the seat comes out with it
2. Next, remove the seat using a 5/16 in. Allen
wrench
3. Check the seat for wear or debris. Clean and
replace the seat if necessary.
4. Inspect the poppet and the spring for wear or
damage. Clean and replace as necessary.
5. Re-assemble the check valve. Thread the seat
by hand until snug. Then tighten with a 5/16 in
Allen wrench. DO NOT over-tighten.
23-063 VLV, CHECK, CHECK VLV MANIFOLD
Note: Improper seating of the check valve seat,
poppet, damaged spring or o-rings will result in
poor performance of the chemical system.
6. Lubricate the o-rings with o-ring lubricant.
(Part # 13-003) and re-install.

CHEMICAL PUMP
The RAGE® unit features a stainless steel
chemical pump and metering system. The
chemical pump requires only the replacement of
the diaphragm and check valves. To replace the
diaphragm, unscrew the cover from the body.
When replacing the diaphragm, lube the outer
edges of the diaphragm with o-ring lubricant
(Part #13-003) and reassemble.
To replace the check valves, remove the check
valve caps, replace the check valves and
reassemble using new o-rings. DO NOT attempt
to reuse o-rings after the check valves have been
removed.
PACKING NUT ADJUSTMENT
CHEMICAL
METERING/SELECTOR VALVES
Inspect the packing nut for proper tension on the
chemical metering and chemical selector valves
every 200 hours. When turning the knob, there
should be some resistance. If not, slightly tighten
the packing nut. DO NOT over-tighten. Keeping
the packing properly adjusted will eliminate
possible leaks and will add to the overall life of
the valves.

PRESSURE REGULATOR
The pressure regulator holds water
pressure at a preset point and bypasses the
excess water back to the water box.
To adjust:
1. With the unit running, close the
cleaning tool valve. Check the pressure
gauge. Open the tool valve. Set the
pressure regulator so that the pressure
gauge reads 450 PSI with the tool valve
closed. With the tool valve open, there
should be a normal dropin pressure. If
the drop is greater than 100 PSI, it may
be necessary to lubricate the pressure
regulator o-rings.
2. To adjust the pressure regulator, turn
the adjusting knob (while observing the
pressure gauge on the control panel) until
you reach the desired pressure.
!
DO NOT loosen the adjusting body
(cap) all the way (counterclockwise) or
remove it while the unit is running.
We recommend that you lubricate the
pressure regulator o-ring every 100 hours, or whenever required. If you do
not, the stem may become seized due to
inadequate lubrication. If this occurs:
a) Shutdown the unit.
b) Relieve all pressure from the
water system.
c) Remove the cap from the pressure
regulator and remove the stem with
long nose pliers.
d) Clean and lubricate stem.
e) Reassemble pressure regulator
