PROCEDURE 2
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Ensure that the gaskets are not pinched or
out of position when reinstalling the valve plates
and the head assembly. Doing this will prevent
leaks and low system pressures.
7. Tighten the screws on the heads in a criss-cross
manner until snug. DO NOT tighten completely.
8. Use a torque wrench with the TORX T-25 drive
and torque each head screw to 40 in. lbs. in a
criss-cross manner.
9. Reinstall the compressor (Refer to PROCEDURE
7 - REPLACING COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
OR CAPACITOR).
10. Run unit and check for leaks around compres-
sor hoses (Refer to PROCEDURE 19 - LEAK
TEST).
11. If crossover tube(s) leak, gently rotate the tube(s)
approximately 1/4-turn. Once "O" ring(s) seat
themselves, leaks should stop. If not, contact In-
vacare Technical Service at the number on back
page of this Owner's Manual.
12. Take pressure readings to ensure proper system
pressures (Refer to PROCEDURE 21 - SIEVE
BED PRESSURE TAP-IN KIT INSTALLATION
AND BED PRESSURE CHECK in the IRC3LX /
IRC5LX/IRC5LXO2 SERVICE MANUAL).
