5 Servicing and adjustment
procedures
Warning Release the pressure from the compressor before
starting repair or maintenance works. Switch
off the voltage and isolate the compressor from
the mains.
5.1 Unloader or check valve
Dirt, condensate, coke formation and oxidation influence the
proper operation of the valve. Depending on the working
conditions (ambient temperature, working pressure, load cycle,
oil type), it is recommended to replace the unloader or check
valve as indicated in section 4.2. Replacement instructions
are included in the maintenance kits.
5.2 Valves
A faulty valve must be replaced immediately. A faulty valve
can be discovered as stated in section 6, points 1 and 4. It is
highly recommended to replace the valve discs, O-rings and
joints when the cylinder heads are disassembled.
