  • Make sure all of the air pressure is relieved in the unit.  If necessary, remove the air filter for access to the air regulator.
  • Remove the piston cover.
  • Remove the diaphragm cover for access to the dispgragm and to the end of the piston shaft.
  • Remove the diaphragm and inspect for any cracks or tears.  Replace the diapgragm if necessary.
  • Carefully remove the spring and piston assembly, then clean out any debris in the body of the regulator.
