Air Injection Check Valve: Testing and Inspection

Remove check valve and test for leakage by first blowing air into valve through pump side and then through air manifold side. Air should flow through air pump side only. If air flows through air manifold side, replace valve. Note that a small amount of air flow through the manifold side is acceptable.
