4.5. Routine Maintenance Issues:
• Remove excessive dirt, grime and clutter from work areas.
• Make sure all required guards and shields are in place.
4.6. Functional Test: Before initiating automatic operation, operate the system manually to make sure all required functions operate properly
and safely.
4.7. Service or Replacement Intervals: It is the user’s responsibility to establish appropriate service intervals. Valves and FRLs contain
components that age, harden, wear, and otherwise deteriorate over time. Environmental conditions can significantly accelerate this process.
Valves and FRLs need to be serviced or replaced on routine intervals. Service intervals need to be established based on:
• Previous performance experiences.
• Government and / or industrial standards.
• When failures could result in unacceptable down time, equipment damage or personal injury risk.
4.8. Servicing or Replacing of any Worn or Damaged Parts: To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause death, personal injury
and property damage:
• Follow all government, state and local safety and servicing practices prior to service including but not limited to all OSHA Lockout
Tagout procedures (ANSI/ASSE Z244.1-2003 and OSHA Standard – 29 CFR, Part 1910.147, Appendix A, The Control of
Hazardous Energy – Lockout / Tagout).
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected to system and ROSS CONTROLS products before installation, service,
or conversion.
• Installation, servicing, and / or conversion of these products must be performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversions air and electrical supplies (when necessary) should be connected and the product tested
for proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is present, or if the product does not operate properly, do not put product or system
into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be covered or painted over. If masking is not possible, contact your local
representative for replacement labels.
4.9. Putting Serviced System Back into Operation: Follow the guidelines above and all relevant Installation and Maintenance Instructions
