CAM HOUSING MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Before performing maintenance on the cam
housing, the following information must be noted.
All cams in the “A” PILOTAIR Valve are marked for
position on the shaft and for the valve cavity that
they are to operate.
1. The position index mark indicates the position
of the cam on the shaft when the handle is in the
upright position. This mark appears on the edge of
the cam.
2. The engraved cavity number indicates the valve
cavity that the cam is to operate. This marking
appears as an Arabic numeral on the same side of
the cam as the position index mark.
With the front (vertical side) of the cam housing
facing the operator and with the handle facing
toward the right (single handle models), the
position index marks and engraved cavity numbers
appear on the right side of the cams.
The valve cavities are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 from
