  3. Apply battery voltage to dual-terminal connector. Grounding terminals S1, S2, S and S4 in sequence should cause valve to close. See Fig 1. With battery voltage still connected, grounding terminals in reverse sequence (S4, S, S2 and S1) should cause valve to open. If not, perform resistance check.
