With the solenoid detached from the manifold, use a small
at instrument to gently lever the two solenoid retainer
clips o the solenoid SEE FIGURE 20.7. 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 20.8.
Note that it is the at 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 20.9. Lubricate
the o-rings using Eclipse Grease or DOW 33 lubricant and
re-insert the spool shaft into the solenoid body, insuring
that the concave end goes in rst.
FIGURE 20.10 and FIGURE 20.11 show the dierence
between the at end of the spool shaft and the concave
end.
Ensure the solenoid manifold is attached to the Etek3 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.
You have now stripped and cleaned your Etek3 solenoid.
