5 Maintenance
Maintain the valve regularly.
Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings!
CIP = Cleaning In Place.
Always keep spare rubber seals, lip seals and guide rings in stock.
The valve is designed so that single internal leakages do not result in the products becoming mixed.
