MAINTAINING THE POPPET VALVE ASSEMBLY
1. With the LPR removed from the marker,
remove the poppet valve by tapping the
front of the marker firmly against the palm
of your hand or a padded surface.
Alternately use a pair of needle nose pliers,
remove the poppet return spring and
poppet valve from the front of the ram
sleeve.
2. If step #1 sounds annoying do it the easier
way – remove the ram as described in the
ram maintenance instructions and use a
chopstick to push the poppet out from the
back. (If you don’t have a chopstick
ordering Pa d Thai for lunch will get you a
chopstick)
3. Inspect the surface of the poppet and o-ring
for excessive wear or nicks, and replace as
necessary.
4. Clean debris and excess grease from the
poppet surface, and grease the poppet o-
ring.
5. Replace the poppet and poppet return
spring into the ram sleeve, and attach the
LPR with the LPR retaining screw. The
narrow end of the tapered spring goes
towards the poppet with the wider end
going toward the LPR.
NOTE: If you aren’t sure whether you have the
regular or LP poppet take a look at the shaft.
The LP poppet has a silver shaft.
