11. Push the six O-rings (1C) onto the control cylinder and press
the O-rings into the recesses
12. Coat the O-rings thinly with grease prior to fitting the control
cylinder in the air valve housing
13. Align the slots in the control cylinder with the slots in the air
valve housing (1A)
14. Push the piston into the control cylinder up to the end cover
already fitted. Ensure that this does not cause any scratches.
