valve caps both lose. If they don’t get lose easily, use a
sharp-tongued pair of pliers, but carefully. A little piece of cloth will be
helpful, not to scratch the caps. |

Take
both pistons (still connected) out of the valve casings. Do not be confused by
the different colour of the pistons. They are of yellow brass, but this
picture is manipulated to show the pistons clearly. |
|
Before
re-inserting, a drop of light valve oil on every piston is very helpful in
conserving the metal surface. Should be done specially, if the horn should
rest for a few days. |

Care
for the right order of the valves numbered 1 to 6, numbers facing to the
backside of the horn. Screw all screws tight carefully. Adjust the connecting
screw (seen on this picture clearly, connecting the end caps & acting as
axis for the short handle (here marked with 2 – on the other valves
marked with 1 or 3), where the long handle (seen between the pistons) is to
be inserted & fixed with the little rubber ring & the screw, which
faces to the rubber ring with the wider side. The key for this screw came
with the horn, but if lost, it can be obtained in any repair tool shop. It is
a hexagonal key of 2.5 mms. A mini drop of oil placed on the axis, where it
touches the end caps (here numbered as 3 & 4) would be good also. When
screwing the valve caps back on place (on the valve casings), one must care,
not to ruin the screw by forcing it into place. Turning it lightly until it
will grips, is enough. If loosening seems to be hard, use a thin piece of cloth
around these valve caps & lose them with grip from both sides. Valve caps
must be screwed firmly to prevent noise. |
