What maintenance steps are recommended for the 61654? toggle
  • Check for diaphragm wear or tears
  • Inspect the valve poppet and seat for erosion
  • Clean or replace the strainer screen
  • Confirm that the manual override lever functions smoothly

Are there specific tools required for service? toggle

Basic tools such as a torque wrench, seal pullers, and snap ring pliers are sufficient. The manual recommends inch-pound torque settings and outlines a full disassembly/reassembly procedure.
