Hey Jeff and others of interest.......
I am having a hard time pulling out the levers on my tanks...the twist left is ok but it takes a ton to pull them out and a ton to put them in the last 1/2 inch...and...I am getting olser...... been thinking about electrics....saw them at camping world for $100 but they do not seem to be easy to install....I may just order some new paddles from Jeff mif this is the problem...I welcome suggestions. Thanks. Regards, Hank Hannigan 90SP36 80FC31 ps...paddle problem is on my 80FC31...the 90SP has new Dupree/Miller air dumps. |

Dupree/Miller will likey reply also...but I have had luck with: 1:
doing a good dump & flush. 2: then removing the two small recessed screws and removing the paddles (this is why you flush well in #1)...if the rubber seal looks good, just clean and lube (i use silicone and avoid petro based for rubber) and reinstall, noting which side faces in/outlet. If the seal is torn, hard or "wavy" around the perimeter...order a new paddle.

Pretty much what Frank said.
If the seal is still in good shape, lube with plumber's grease from any hardware. Lubed they should slide open/closed freely, provided the seals weren't installed improperly or are damaged. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "fwernlein" wrote: > > Dupree/Miller will likey reply also...but I have had luck with: 1: > doing a good dump & flush. 2: then removing the two small recessed > screws and removing the paddles (this is why you flush well in > #1)...if the rubber seal looks good, just clean and lube (i use > silicone and avoid petro based for rubber) and reinstall, noting > which side faces in/outlet.
