    Important: Note the positions of the throttle valve adjusting screw and the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve before disassembling the valve body. The throttle valve opening will change with the throttle valve adjusting screw position. Some units do not require a throttle valve adjusting screw. However, if the unit includes a throttle valve adjusting screw and it is removed or replaced during valve body service, the new or reused throttle valve adjusting screw must be installed in the same position from which it was removed. Line pressure will change with the position of the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve. If the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve is removed during valve body service, verify that the primary regulator valve plunger sleeve is installed in the same position from which it was removed.
