Manual
(CONTINUED) 
With the solenoid detached from the manifold, use a 
small flat instrument to gently lever the two solenoid 
retainer clips off  the solenoid 
(SEE FIGURE 24G). 
This will allow you to split the solenoid into two and 
access the spool valve.
Using a pair of  needle-nose pliers remove the spool 
shaft from the main section of  the solenoid 
(SEE 
FIGURE 24H)
. Note that it is the flat side of  the 
spool shaft that is facing you when you remove the 
spool shaft. It may be necessary to also remove the 
front cap of  the solenoid to push the shaft out, if  it 
cannot be pulled out with the needle nose pliers. 
Thoroughly clean and inspect the spool shaft and its 
o-rings for any debris or dirt 
(SEE FIGURE 24I). 
Lubricate the o-rings using Eclipse Grease lubricant 
and re-insert the spool shaft into the solenoid body, 
insuring that the concave end goes in first. 
FIGURE 
24j
 shows the concave end and FIGURE 24K 
shows the flat end.
Ensure the solenoid manifold is attached to the Etek4 
body before attempting to attach the solenoid.
Replace the two solenoid retaining clips to the sides 
of  the solenoid body. Then having ensured that the 
small manifold gasket is in place; screw the solenoid 
back into the correct position on the manifold. For 
reference, the pilot end of  the solenoid with the metal 
casing should be towards the front of the marker as 
shown in 
FIGURE 24L. 
You have now stripped and cleaned your Etek4 
solenoid.
