PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Good Valve <br />Annually, inspect the flapper in the 71 SO to see that it is <br />open by looking down the drop tube opening (see in- <br />spection procedure below). Test the 71 SO drop tube <br />seals with CARB procedure TP -201.1 D. If the drop tube <br />seal passes testing, no further maintenance is required. <br />If the drop tube fails testing, replace the drop tube seal <br />with OPW P/N: H 11931 M for 4" Tubes. Re -test the 71 SO <br />drop tube with CARB procedure TP -201.1 D. The lower <br />tube o -ring seal OPW P/N: H14840M can also be re- - <br />placed. If this does not correct the leak the 71 SO needs <br />to be replaced. <br />Bad Valve <br />FOR TESTABLE MODELS ONLY: The socket adaptor <br />can be removed and poppet and float movement and <br />function inspected without removing the valve. See <br />Page 17 for full testing details. If replacement parts are <br />needed for testable models the following items are <br />available: OPW P/N 206741 Testable Inlet Tube S/A, <br />206740 Socket Adaptor and Cable Assembly, and 61 SOK <br />-0001 Float Kit. <br />CAUTION: Do not insert any foreign object into drop <br />tube if flapper is in the closed position. For exam- <br />ple, a tank level measuring stick. This will damage <br />the valve and void the Warranty. ALWAYS check <br />flapper location before "sticking" the tank. If flap- <br />per is in the closed position, the tank is either over- <br />filled and you need to wait until the liquid level goes <br />down or the 71 SO is damaged and needs to be re - <br />Inspection Procedure to Ensure Proper Operation <br />Note: For testable models valve does not need to be <br />removed from tank. See page 17 for testable instruc- <br />tions. <br />INSP 1. Remove the overfill valve from the tank as de- <br />scribed instep 26. <br />INSP 2. Visually inspect the valve for damage. Make <br />sure no debris or foreign objects are in or on the valve. <br />INSP 3. With the float in the normal (down) position, <br />visually inspect the valve to ensure the poppet is not <br />exposed outside the deflection shield. See Figure 27. <br />Shield <br />With Poppet <br />Prot <br />Deflection Shield <br />n ith Poppet exposed <br />Figure 27 <br />Note: Figure 27 shows poppet location with float arm <br />not activated. <br />INSP 4. Inspect the float by lifting upward. The float <br />should move freely without any binding. See Figure <br />28. <br />Open <br />Float <br />Figure 28 <br />INSP 5. View down the tube to ensure the poppet is <br />moving into the flow path when lifting the float. See <br />Figure 29. <br />
