MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
1. Remove the lifting lugs from the stu s. Remove hoo
nuts an weatherhoo from vent. Remove the screen.
NOTE: No spring forces are involve uring these
processes.
2. Inspect vent an remove any loose irt or foreign
material from the unit or the hoo . Inspect the screen
an replace if amage .
3. The vent is esigne so that all spring forces are
containe by the spring package. The springs are com-
presse between the flange plate an upper spring
gui es (see Detail A).

Spring Pac age Disassembly & Reassembly
Measure the compresse height of the springs in the spring
package (See Detail A) an recor this imension for later
use.
NOTE: This compressed spring height is critical in
that it establishes the set point of the vent.
1. The stu s on the vent are long enough so that all com-
pressive force of the springs can be relieve as spring
nuts are loosene . As the nuts are loosene , the spring
gui es will move upwar s, relieving spring forces. The
spring nuts shoul be loosene alternately an evenly so
that each of the springs are allowe to expan evenly
until the free length of the springs is reache .
2. Once the spring forces have been relieve , the spring
nuts, spring gui es, springs an pallet assembly may be
remove for inspection.
3. Inspect the iaphragm. If the iaphragm is eteriorate it
shoul be replace . Make sure that the nut securing the
iaphragm is fastene securely.
4. Inspect the seating surface. It shoul be smooth an free
of irt or nicks. If necessary, clean the seating surface
with an appropriate cleaner or solvent.
CAUTION: Do not use a file or sharp tool that
may damage the seat surface.
5. Reassemble the spring package assembly in the reverse
or er to above. Install pallet assembly, lower spring
gui es, springs, upper spring gui es an spring nuts.
Slowly compress the springs by tightening the spring
nuts evenly an alternately until the springs are at their
compresse height that was measure in Step 1 of this
process.
NOTE: This compressed spring height is criti-
cal in that it establishes the set point of the
vent.
6. Tighten spring nuts to secure position of spring plate.
7. Reinstall the screen, weatherhoo , hoo nuts an lifting
lugs.
