4.6 Operating the shut-off valves
Before opening or closing the shut-off valve, release the valve spindle seal by approx. ¼ of a turn
counter-clockwise.
After activating the shut-off valve, re-tighten the adjustable valve spindle seal clockwise.
After activating the spindle, generally fit the spindle protection cap again and tighten with 14-16 Nm.
This serves as a second sealing feature during operation.
