Introduction

The Rainman motor valve is engineered as a premium, long-lasting component. On rare occasions, however, a brand new valve can be too tight for the motor to break it loose the very first time it operates. This is not a sign of a faulty valve, and it is not a routine maintenance issue — it is a one-off corrective procedure. Once the valve has been manually released for the first time, this will not reoccur.

TO BE COMPLETED

Step by Step

  1. Remove the 4 small 2.5mm Allen screws to separate the motor box from the valve body.
  1. Using pliers, grasp the valve stem and manually turn it forward and backward a few times to massage it loose.
  1. Once the stem turns freely, return it to its original position as shown in the picture.
  1. Reassemble the motor box onto the valve body and reinsert the 4 Allen screws.

Your motor valve is now ready to be reinstalled and will operate normally going forward.
