- Remove Valve Packing (2) with a Dental Pick (NOTE: If You have an older model and the packings are difficult to remove,
try pushing the protruding stem from side to side with your finger. If it cannot be moved, The Valve Packing is Good & you can skip this step.
- Remove the O-ring From The Cap using a Dental Pick
- Install New Valve Packings (2)

until threads are caught. Completely tighted with screwdriver, making sure it is tight
TECH TIP: If Caps Are Frozen In Place, Place the blade to one end of the
slot in the cap and hold at a 45 degree angle. Lightly tap
the screwdriver in a counter-clockwise direction with a lightweight hammer. Then place the screwdriver at the other end of the slot and repeat.
Try unscrewing it again. Once usually does it, but if it is still difficult just repeat as above. Be sure to tap
LIGHTLY. You just want to break the threads loose. The Cap is Brass (a soft metal) and can be damaged
Once you have completed the first valve, then repeat the procedure for the second. Both Valves must be repaired at the same time and
that is why your order contains 2 complete kits. The set the unit upright, refill with distilled water, plug it in and you are ready to go.
