REED VALVE
Inspection
1. Visually inspect for warping of the reed
valve. If warped, measure the distortion
with feeler gauges.
If the amount of warping is greater than
specification, replace the reed valve.
2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the
valve stopper height.
If the valve stopper height is outside the
specification, adjust it by bending.
3. Visually inspect for cracks on the reed
valve.
If cracks are found, replace the reed
valve.
