foreign particles. Clean the system if is necessary,
- check to make sure the valve moves smoothly. If necessary, lubricate it with special grease or
soapy water,
- check for possible leaks, and make sure the pipes and their connections are sealed and do not
have any leaks,
- if the valve has been supplied with an actuator, make sure that the alignment of the valve shaft
and the actuator shaft enables smooth movement,
- check that the compressed air pressure at the inlet of the actuator matches what is indicated in
chapter

,
-
consider the quality of the compressed air, according to the specifications described in chapter
