Paraffin Cleanout Port
The Gen 3 is equipped with an access port to give the
ability to inspect and clean out the area inside the Mount,
without having to remove the unit from the vessel.
This can help if there are paraffins or other solids that
build up over time inside the Mount, restricting movement
of the Displacer Rod.
WARNING:
Make sure all pressure is released
from the vessel before loosening the cleanout port plug.
Repair Kit Replacements
Repair kits contain all seals and wear components
recommended to be replaced during scheduled
maintenance intervals for the entire unit, including
Pilot, Well-Wetted, and Adjustment Spring Assembly
Components. The following sections instruct how
to replace these components. A list of repair kit
components can be found in the kit sheet RK:F001.
Other Replacements
If any other components that were inspected need to be
replaced, use the Technical Specs document 08:05.1 to
determine which part number(s) are needed and contact
your local Kimray authorized store or distributor to order.
WARNING:
A leaking controller is an indication that service is
required. Failure to take controller out of service
immediately may cause a hazardous condition.
WARNING:
Before beginning repair, Block & Bleed valve. Make sure
all pressure is released from vessel, and confirm no
pressure remains in supply gas/instrument air lines.

Perform maintenance on a regular basis. An initial
inspection interval of 6 months is recommended.
Depending on the service conditions and the condition of
the controller, the inspection interval may be decreased
or increased.
The pilot can be repaired without removing the controller
from the vessel as long as the supply air/gas pressure
has been bled down and fully released.
