Gun Service Procedure

1. Place valve in fully open or fully closed position. (Open position recommended for easy servicing.)

2. On valves supplied with only the combination giant buttonhead sealant screw, connect the grease gun giant buttonhead coupler to this combo screw/fitting and slowly pump sealant until signs of the telltale ring are shown.

3. On larger valves which are supplied with body sealant injection fittings, connect grease gun to body sealant fittings. Pump sealant several times with pressure gun.

4. Connect grease gun to the other body fittings, if present, and proceed as in step 3, pumping sealant (until the telltale ring is displayed).

5. Rotate valve to position opposite that of valve in step1. Repeat steps 2,3, and 4, as applicable.

6. Turn valve plug several times to obtain an adequate smear of sealant for valve sealing.

7. On valves with body lube fittings, inject a small amount of sealant into stem fitting to ensure an adequately filled system.

8. Repeat the above servicing steps as required.

*NOTE: If valve is in closed position and under line pressure, lubricate valve only until leakage stops.
