while the lower chamber may or may not be subject to
air system pressure. The position of the piston is
determined by the position of the operating handle. The

Cleaning,
Inspection, and Repair
a. Cleaning.
(1) Clean all metal parts with an approved
cleaning solvent.
(2) Clean all air passages with compressed
air, making certain that they are clean and
free of obstructions and foreign matter.
b. Inspection and Repair.
(1) Inspect the bore in the body for scoring
and scratches. The bore must be smooth
to prevent damage to the piston. Replace
a defective body.
(2) Inspect the piston for rough spots and
other damage. Check the fit of the piston
stem in the cam. The piston stem must
be a free sliding fit.
(3) Inspect the inlet and exhaust valve for
grooves, pitting, and other damage.
Check the fit of the valve in the adjusting
ring nut. The valve must slide freely
without binding. Replace a defective inlet
and exhaust valve.
