TEST INSTRUCTIONS POPPET & FLOAT MOVEMENT FOR TESTABLE MODELS ONLY TOOLS NEEDED FOR TES-NNG, 1. 114" square drive extension or 318" square drive ex- tension with 318" to 1/4" socket adapter. 2. Torque wrench 1 114" or 318" square drive ratchet wrench, 3. Pipe dope. 4. Flashlight (optional). TEST STEP 1: Remove spill container cover and fill cap from fill adapt- er and look down into the tube and make sure no debris or foreign objects are present. If debris or foreign ob- jects are present take appropriate steps before proceed- ing. Look down into the tube and ensure poppet is completely protected by the deflection shield. See Test Figure 1. If poppet is exposed and tank is not full the overfill valve should be replaced. A flashlight may help when inspecting the tube. TEST STEP 2: Unthread the socket adaptor assembly from the inlet tube using a 114" square drive extension and wrench. The extension will attach to the socket adaptor. Secure all tools to ensure they don't fall into the tank or valve. With the extension still attached pull on the socket adaptor and cable assembly and ensure float and pop- pet move /function properly. It should only require 3" to 4" of movement and less than a lbs of force in order to actuate the float and poppet. When looking down into the upper tube ensure poppet is visible and moves into the flow path (see Test Figure 1 & 2) when socket adaptor is pulled and resets properly when socket adap- tor is released. If poppet does not actuate freely take appropriate steps to correct, TEST STEP 3: Apply pipe dope to the socket adaptor threads. Pipe dope should be a non -hardening gasoline resistant pipe thread seal compound. Make sure poppet and float have reset properly and are not visible then install sock- et adaptor and torque to 3.5 ft-Ibs (42 in -lbs) minimum to 5.0 ft -lbs (60 in -lbs) maximum. After installing socket adaptor, to ensure vapor tightness, DPW recommends conducting pressure testing per CARE TP201.1 D. Some areas may require pressure testing of overfill valve per CARE TP201.1 D to ensure valve is vapor tight. If the drop tube fails pressure testing it may be necessary to check the seal at the poppet adaptor threacts. Reinstall fill cap and spill container cover after testing.
