                                                                                          DO NOT remove the static base. Special fixtures are required to reinstall plates to factory specifications. Roller bearings and ceramic plate stack are calibrated to obtain proper mechanical pre-loading. Therefore, field disassembly is not recommended for the plate/bearing assembly. The ceramic slide plates do not require maintenance under normal operating conditions and should not be removed from the valve - consult factory if plate maintenance is required. There are no seals for the static base/ceramic plate assembly contained in repair kits.
