Manual

the SoLenoid MAnifoLd
There is NO need to remove the solenoid valve or
manifold for any kind of regular maintenance. There
are NO user-serviceable parts within the
solenoid
valve
.
With the frame separated from the Etha body and the
solenoid and BBSS wires unplugged from the circuit
board (see page 44) remove the two manifold retaining
screws using a 5/64” hex key
(See fiGure 22A).
The solenoid and solenoid manifold can now be
removed from the Etha body.
With the solenoid manifold completely removed from
the Etha body the bottom of the Etha body should now
resemble
fiGure 22b. Ensure that the air transfer
holes in the bottom of the Etha body are free from
contamination from any dirt, debris, paint or moisture
and clear away any excess grease if it appears to be
blocking any of the air transfer holes.
Using a cross-headed screwdriver, undo and remove
the two screws that hold the solenoid valve onto the
solenoid manifold
(See fiGure 22c).
Check the top face of the solenoid manifold to ensure
that it is free from damage or debris. Remove, clean
and inspect the two manifold o-ring gaskets
A
and
B
and the brass filter
C
as shown in fiGure 22d,
noting the correct location of each for re-assembly.
Replace the o-ring gaskets and then the brass filter,
ensuring that they lie flat in their designated grooves
in the solenoid manifold
(See fiGure 22e)

DE-GAS YOUR MARKER, DISCHARGING ANY
STORED GAS IN A SAFE DIRECTION, AND REMOVE
THE BARREL, LOADER, AIR SYSTEM AND ANY

SAFER TO WORK ON.
