STRIPPING AND
CLEANING THE SOLENOID
Remove the three rubber grip screws from the right hand side of your grip
frame and unplug the solenoid and BBSS from the PCB. Remove the two
frame screws allowing you to remove your frame, Inline regulator and hosing
set-ups from your Ego so that you are left with the solenoid exposed (SEE
FIGURE 6.71).
Using a small Philips head screw driver, undo the two solenoid retaining
screws (SEE FIGURE 6.72 ) and remove the solenoid from the minifold taking
care not to loose the 3 small o-rings from the face of the minifold.
With the solenoid detached from the minifold, use a small ๎
at instrument to
gently lever the two solenoid retainer clips off the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 6.73).
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 from the front section of
the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 6.74). Note that it is the ๎
at side of the spool valve
facing you when you remove the spool valve. It may be necessary to also
remove the front cap of the solenoid to push the spool out, if it cannot be
pulled out with the needle nose pliers.

Thoroughly clean and inspect the spool and its O-rings for any debris or dirt
(SEE FIGURE 6.75). Lubricate the o-rings using Dow 33 or similar lubricant and
re-insert the spool into the solenoid body.
FIGURE 6.76 and FIGURE 6.77 show the difference between the ๎
at end of the
spool and the raised end of the spool.
Replace the two solenoid retaining clips to the sides of the solenoid body and
having ensured that the minifold o-rings are in place; screw the solenoid back
into the correct position on the minifold. For reference, the end of the solenoid
with the wire attached should be towards the rear of the marker.
Replace the Inline regulator, grip frame and hosing set-up, taking care to feed
the solenoid and BBSS leads through the grip frame correctly so that they do
not get caught or damaged. Having screwed ini the three rubber grip screws
to ๎nish the process.
You have now stripped and cleaned your Ego solenoid.
