Sprinkler System RPZ valve leak

After installing the RPZ valve in my sprinkler system this year, there is a very slight leak around the gasket at the large pressure regulator assembly. I need to remove the cover on this assembly to either replace the gasket, or at least lubricate it to stop the leak. There are 4 bolts holding the cover. Can I simply remove these bolts and the cover without any danger of parts flying out? There seems to be a spring mechanism behind the cover.

RPZ Valve

As RPZ valve specialist installers and testers ( RPZ Valve Testing - Nationwide ) we will be able to advise you but what make of valve is it ? (Who is the manufacturer - there will be a name plate on the body of the valve ) and what size is it ?

Gentlemen, Thank you for your response. I apologize as I should have provided this information in the initial post. Here it is. I have a FEBCO model 825Y. At the bottom right corner of the tag, there is a large "A". The S/N looks wierd in that it is B64.4 followed by a long blank space then 1013. I hope this is the needed information and I look forward to your help. As always, thanks so much for all you do to help out us do-it-yourselfers.
