help w regulator/unloader

[Aaron Richards]

Just installed a new blue spring unloader on my Powerclean freedom xt. When I turn on the pump and adjust the pressure it goes up but will not go down. Even when i turn the pump off the pressure does not release, it stays steady where it was. Is there a check valve in there that needs to come out? Swear I remember reading that somewhere on MB recently. Got a huge church tomorrow and would like to have it working properly before then. Guess I could always put the old leaky one back on if I have to. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

does it look like this one..........????

Looks the same but with a blue spring. Not real familiar with the internal workings. Is that the check valve that is disasembled there?

Nevermind, just noticed the text on the top of the pic. Should I remove that valve? Maybe I'll take the old one apart to see if its been removed from that one.

Thanks for posting the pic, Jim! Took my old one apart, no chk valve, so removed from new one and good to go!

Photo showing the correct terminology:

Unloader becomes a pressure regulator when check valve is removed.

Pressure is not locked in.
