Disassemble Brakesaver Control Valve

start by:

a) remove BrakeSaver control valve

1. Remove O-ring seals (1) from the valve body.


NOTICE

Spring force is behind the cover at removal.


2. Remove four bolts (2) slowly and evenly from cover (4). Remove the cover.

3. Remove cover (3) and the seal from the opposite end of the valve body.

4. Remove spool (8) as an assembly.

5. Remove spring (7), stop (10), spring (6) and slug (9).

6. Remove the O-ring seals and sleeve (5).

7. Remove bolt (11), plate (13) and diaphragm (12) from the spool. Make an inspection of the pin on the spool, and make a replacement of the pin if there is damage or wear.

Assemble Brakesaver Control Valve

1. Install diaphragm (4) and plate (8) on valve spool (3). Make alignment of the hole in the plate valve with the pin on the spool. Install the bolt that holds the plate and the diaphragm in position.


NOTICE

When the diaphragm (4) is installed on the valve spool (3), make sure the fabric side is pulled down over the valve spool to make contact with it and the smooth (rubber coated) side is next to valve body.


2. Install sleeves (1) and the seals in the valve body.

3. Install the valve spool as an assembly into the valve body. As the valve is installed, make sure the edge at the diaphragm makes contact all the way around with the groove in the valve body. At this time the valve spool end must extend about 1.50 in. (38.1 mm) from the valve body. Push the valve spool about .25 in. (6.4 mm) - .50 in. (12.7 mm) farther into the valve body until a curved depression is caused between the valve spool and valve body. Make sure there are no wrinkles in the diaphragm.

4. Put cover (9) in position. Install the four bolts that hold the cover on the valve body. Move the valve spool in the valve body several times to make sure it moves freely. Move the valve spool all the way against the cover (5).

5. Install spring (7), stop (2), spring (6) and slug (5) in the spool through the opening in the opposite end of the valve. Install the cover on the opposite end of the valve body. Hold the cover down to put the springs under compression. Install the four bolts that hold the cover.

6. Install the three O-ring seals for the three valve body (ports) openings.
