Pilot Change

Standard Case (See figure 13)

To remove the Pilot, first turn the Lower Spring Retainer all the way to 
the bottom to relieve the tension on the Spring. Next, unscrew the two 
screws located on top of the Case. Push down the Torque Bar on the 
Spring side as far as it will go. This will allow the Pilot to be removed.  
Put in the new Pilot, and replace the upper screws to hold it to the top 
of the Case. Make sure that the Flapper Bar is positioned so that the 
Pilot Pin rests in the slot.  The Pilot Pin should be able to move freely 
in the slot without binding as the Flapper Bar moves up and down .

Sealed Case (See Figure 14)

To remove the Pilot, first turn the Lower Spring Retainer all the way to 
the bottom to relieve the tension on the Spring. Next, unbolt the Pilot 
Plate that covers the front of the Pilot. Push down the Torque Bar on 
the  Spring  side  as  far  as  it  will  go.  This  will  allow  the  Pilot  to  be     
removed. Remove the Gasket behind the Pilot. To reassemble replace 
the Pilot Gasket with a new one and put in the new Pilot. Put the Pilot 
Plate back on and reinstall the pilot plate screws. Make sure that the 
Flapper  Bar  is  positioned  so  that  the  Pilot  Pin  rests  in  the  slot.  The 
Pilot Pin should be able to  move freely in the slot  without binding as 
the Flapper Bar moves up and down .

Pilot Repair (See Figure 15)

Remove  the  two  screws  holding  together  the  Pilot  to  expose  the  
components  within.  When  replacing  the  components,  the  Gasket 
needs to be checked so that the orientation of the cutouts match the 
holes on the Body. Reassemble and test the Pilot with a supply line to 
check  for  leaks  before  installing  back  into  the  Case.  Mount  the  Pilot 
back  into  the  Case  with  the  two  screws  and  make  sure  the  Flapper 
Bar is positioned correctly on the Pilot Pin.
