To service the pilot valve or the pressure regulator, rst shut off and bleed the air being supplied to the
pump. For safety purposes the air supply line should be disconnected from the pump. Then shut off the
suction and discharge lines to the pump. Bleed the pressure from the pump suction and discharge lines and
remove the lines from the pump. During the servicing of the AirVantage, consult the “AirVantage Composite
Repair Parts Drawing”.

• Use a ½” socket and remove the four 5/16-18 x 5 cap screws that hold the AirVantage to the pump. Be
sure to support the weight of the AirVantage while removing the last cap screw. After the AirVantage is
removed from the pump, set the unit down on the plastic cover located on the bottom. Inspect the o-ring
between the poppet valve and the adapter plate
for damage.

• Use a 5/32 hex-key wrench and remove the four 10-32 x .50 socket head cap screws securing the top
cover on. Lift the cover off, exposing the pilot valve and pressure regulator. There is a molded o-ring
seal located on the underside of the cap. Make sure the o-ring stays located within the groove.
• If the pilot valve needs to be replaced, unplug the connector attached to it. Use a miniature 4-way
Phillips screwdriver and remove the two screws holding the pilot valve to the plate. The valve and
gasket can now be removed and/replaced. When reinstalling the pilot valve, tighten the screws to snug
with a miniature 4-way Phillips screwdriver.
