Maintenance
Pilot parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected
and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection and
replacement of parts depends on severity of service conditions
and/or the requirements of local, state, and federal regulations.
Be certain that the name plates are updated to accurately indicate
any field changes in equipment, materials, service conditions, or
pressure settings.
WARNING: Before disassembly make sure the regulator and
pilot have been isolated from the process by closing block
valves on the inlet and outlet sides of the regulator. Safely
release pressure and process fluid from the regulator body
and pilot system. Failure to properly complete these steps
may result in personal injury and property damage.
