Maintenance 

 

Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with 
product outlets. 

Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the discharge of fluids.

 

Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the 
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. 

Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the product and 
burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids. 

Operational Check 

A visual inspection of the following items should be done on a daily basis to 
determine whether the product is operating properly or has failed. Periodically (at 
least biannually) the operation should also be checked by using diagnostic 
equipment, such as a stethoscope or thermometer. (Installation, inspection, 
maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve opening/closing should be 
carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.) 

Check to see if air is flowing from the separator outlet. Check all flow meters and 
check the differential pressure. 

If there is insufficient flow or differential pressure is too large, disassemble and check 
for clogging of the screen. 

If the product should fail, it may cause damage to piping and equipment, resulting in 
faulty or low quality products or losses due to air leakage. 

Trap Operational Check 

Normal 

Condensate is discharged continuously from the trap, and nothing 
but condensate is discharged. 

 
Blocked 
(Discharge 
Impossible) 

 

 
No condensate is discharged from the trap outlet. 

 
Blowing 

 

 
Air continuously flows from the trap outlet. 

 
Leakage 

 

 
Air is discharged through the trap outlet together with the 
condensate. 

Parts Inspection   

When parts have been removed, or during periodic inspections, use the following 
table to inspect the parts and replace any that are found to be defective. 

Procedure 

Screen:   

Check for clogging or corrosion 

Gaskets:   

Check for warping or damage 

Float:   

Check for scratches or dents 

Trap Valve Seat:    Check for wear or scratches 

Body Interior: 

Check for build-up 

 

 

CAUTION
