2. Pressurization Control Filter (LJ-572 thru LJ-574, LJ-641 and After; LW-123 and After; and Airplanes LJ-76 thru LJ-
571, LJ-575 thru LJ-640; LW-1 thru LW-122 With Kit 100-4004-1)
A. Cleaning
(1) The pressurization controller filter is located at the bottom of the controller. This filter should be removed and replaced
at the specified intervals (Ref. Chapter 05). This may be accomplished in the following procedure:
NOTE: Observe the method of lockwire installation during removal to facilitate the installation.
(a) Remove the lockwire, washers, spring washer, screen and filter from the controller housing.
(b) Wash the screen and washers in cleaning solvent (06-005, Table 301). Dry with shop air.
NOTE: Use care not to enlarge or damage the orifice in the housing. The proper operation of the
system is dependent on the size of the orifice.
(c) Make sure that the orifice in the controller housing is free of foreign material.
(d) Install a new filter element, screen, spring washer and washers. Secure with lockwire.
3. Outflow and Safety Valve (LJ-1 thru LJ-571, LJ-575 thru LJ-640; LW-1 thru LW-122 Without Kit 100-4004-3)
A. Cleaning
(1) Fluctuation of cabin pressure often indicates dirty outflow and safety valves. This may be ascertained in the following
manner:
(a) Working through the tail section access hole in the bottom of the fuselage, compress the valve bellows and
inspect the valve housing along the inner rim that the bellows contacts when in the extended position.
(b) If the inner rim of the housing is dirty or if the bellows assembly binds on the valve shaft during movement, the
valves may be disassembled and cleaned as follows.
1 Remove the valve from the airplane and mark the upper and lower housings of the valve with lines that
align.
2 Unsafety and remove the six screws securing the upper and lower housings of the valve together.
3 Remove the cotter key, nut and washer from the shaft in the bottom of the valve and separate the bellows
assembly from the valve housing.
4 Wash the valve housing's unpainted inner rim that the bellows contacts when in the extended position with
cleaning solvent (06-005, Table 301).
5 Wash the shaft on which the bellows assembly slides with cleaning solvent (06-005, Table 301) If any tarry
substance still adheres to the shaft, clean the shaft with crocus cloth, then wash again with cleaning solvent.
6 Center the spring in the upper housing and insert the shaft through the bellows assembly. Align the marks
on the valve housing and secure the upper and lower housing together with the six attaching screws. Lock
the screws in place with lockwire.
7 Install the washer and nut securing the bellows assembly on the shaft and insert the cotter key locking the
nut in place on the shaft.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the valve diaphragm, avoid rotating the metal on the bottom of
the bellows assembly during installation.

3)
A. Cleaning
(1) Fluctuation of cabin pressure often indicates dirty outflow and/or safety valve poppet and seat or safety valve filter.
The seats of the valves should be inspected and cleaned at the specified intervals or more frequently as needed (Ref.
Chapter 05). The inspection and cleaning of the valve poppet and seat may be accomplished by the following
suggested procedure:
CAUTION: Use only the product listed, as unapproved products may have a damaging effect on the
component parts of the valve or may leave a residue which will interfere with the valve action.
(a) Working through the tail section access opening in the bottom of the aft fuselage, inspect the valve poppet, seat
and noise suppression screen for accumulation of dust and tobacco smoke residue.
(b) Use a suitable liquid dispenser filled with Joy detergent and water or with isopropyl alcohol and flush the valve
poppet, seat and noise suppression screen. It may be necessary to remove the noise suppression screen and
wipe the poppet and seat with a clean rag dampened with Joy detergent and water or with isopropyl alcohol.
5. Safety Valve Filter
A. Cleaning
(1) The safety valve filter should be cleaned at the specified intervals (Ref. Chapter 05). The filter may be cleaned by the
following suggested procedure:
(a) Working inside of the cabin, remove the upholstered cover or grill, as required, to gain access to the safety
valve.
(b) Remove the filter from the safety valve.
(c) When the filter is cleaned regularly and is not subjected to severe residue deposits, the filter can be cleaned
without disassembling. It may be rinsed in cleaning solvent (06-005, Table 301) and dried with shop air. Make
sure that the orifice of the filter housing is free of foreign material. If the filter has not been cleaned regularly, or if
there is considerable residue deposit, the filter may be disassembled and cleaned in the following manner.
1 Remove the retaining ring from the filter assembly housing. Remove one screen the copper ribbon and the
remaining screen from the housing of the filter assembly.
CAUTION: Do not use solvent (06-005, Table 301) on the valve body. It can damage the valve body
material.
2 Wash both screens, the copper ribbon and the filter assembly housing in cleaning solvent (06-005, Table
301). Make sure that the orifice in the housing is free of foreign material.
CAUTION: Use care not to enlarge or damage the orifice in the filter housing. The proper operation of the
system is dependent on the size of the orifice.
(d) Install one screen in the housing of the filter assembly. Install the copper ribbon in the filter assembly housing. Do
not over-compress the ribbon. Install the remaining screen and the retaining ring.
(e) Install the filter assembly in the safety valve, using the packing removed with the filter assembly. Tighten to a
torque of 15 to 20 inch-pounds.
(f) Replace the upholstered cover or the grill.
6. Flow Control Valve Solenoid Screen (Filter) (LJ-1 thru LJ-403 Without Kit 90-5011 Installed)
A. Cleaning
(1) Clean the flow control valve solenoid screen at the specified intervals (Ref. Chapter 05).
(a) Remove the upper panel from the inboard side of the left nacelle aft of the firewall to gain access to the flow
control valve.
(b) Remove the solenoid with a strap wrench.
CAUTION: Do not remove the screen from the solenoid valve.
(c) Install an AN894-5-4 bushing in the outlet side of the solenoid valve. Attach an air hose to the bushing and
reverse flush the solenoid valve with clean compressed air at a maximum pressure of 20 psi until the screen is
free of dust and lint.
(d) Install the solenoid valve and the access panel.

7. Flow Control Valve Solenoid Screen (Filter) (LJ-404 thru LJ-501 and Earlier With Kit 90-5011 Installed)
A. Cleaning
(1) Clean the flow control valve solenoid screen at the specified intervals (Ref. Chapter 05).
(2) On airplanes with the serials just noted, the solenoid was removed from the flow control valve and mounted on the rib
inboard of the valve. Clean the screen at the intervals noted above in the following manner:
(a) Disconnect the aluminum tube from the solenoid at the elbow into the flow control valve.
(b) Remove the elbow from the flow control valve. Reverse the solenoid valve with clean compressed air at a
maximum pressure of 20 psi until the screen is free of dust and lint.
(c) Install the elbow on the flow control valve and connect the tube from the solenoid.
8. Flow Control Unit Solenoid Valve Filter (LJ-502 and After)
A. Cleaning
(1) Clean the flow control valve solenoid screen at the specified intervals (Ref. Chapter 05).
(2) Refer to Chapter 05 for specific cleaning and replacement intervals.
(3) Replacement and cleaning may be accomplished as follows.
(a) Cut the lockwire and remove the four cap screws securing the solenoid valve to the control head.
(b) Remove the solenoid valve and packing. Discard the packing.
(c) Remove the filter using a twisting motion. Remove and discard the packing.
(d) Clean the filter with isopropyl alcohol (06-009, Table 301) or equivalent and dry with shop air.
(e) Install a new NAS1593-014 packing on the filter.
(f) Install the filter using a twisting motion.
(g) Install a new NAS1593-024 packing in the control head housing.
