in the removal of the carriage.

removal of assembly.
INSTALLATION OF SLIDE VALVE CARRIAGE AS-
SEMBLIES
A) Position the slide valves to the center of the car-
riage. Place the slide valve assembly in the bore of
frame and use the slide hammer to slowly tap the
carriage into position. Re-positioning slide valves
once inside bore may aid installation. Adjust the
carriage so that the 3-holes line up.
B) Install the 3 socket head cap screws with new
Nord-Lock washers beneath the heads, but do
not tighten them.
C) Work a piece of 0.005”shim stock between the
slide valves and the main rotor to help position
the carriage.
D) Tighten, to the correct torque the hold down
bolts to secure the carriage in the frame. The
edges of the slide valves themselves should be
at or slightly below the main rotor bore.
E) Re- Install the capacity and volume slide valve
cross shafts, slide valve racks and discharge
manifold.
