5/5/2020 9:55:37 AM Module: 190401e Version: 21 Page: 10 Comment: This comment and change is in regards to the first paragraph on page 10, which states the following. When the master air control valve is put in the high position, air is exhaust from the right side of the slave vale piston. **Spring and air pressure on the left side of the piston try to move the piston to the right, but the valve piston is prevented from moving by the actuating pin. ** Spring: See note below in regards to the spring. This whole paragraph should read as follows. When the master control valve is placed in the high position, air is exhausted from the right side of the slave valve piston. The constant air pressure supply at the left side of the piston tries to move the piston to the right, but is prevented from moving by the actuating pin. (Figure 10) **Please note that the purpose of the spring inside the slave valve is to hold the service access cap seated against the snap ring cap retainer only. The spring is seated between the access cap and the slave valve housing, and does not come into contact with the slave valve piston. It therefore does not assist with the movement of the piston. Piston movement is achieved through pressure differential Status: Implemented
