General Repair Instructions
Preventive maintenance usually involves replacing the valves, gaskets and sealing rings as well as carry-
ing out the maintenance work.
Repair work can be carried out on the compressor block to a certain extent but a certain experience and
skill level is necessary.
It should be noted however, that
• No repair should be carried out on the crankshaft or bearings.
• Safety valves are not repaired but always replaced completely.
