Maintenance
Clean Dispensing Valve and System Daily
CAUTION
Be sure that the solvent you use is compatible with
the fluid being dispensed, to avoid clogging the
valve’s fluid passages.
An important part of the care and maintenance of your
automatic dispensing valve is proper flushing. Flush
the valve daily with a compatible solvent until all traces
of fluid are removed from the valve passages. Follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 before
flushing.
Clean the outside surfaces of the valve by wiping with
a soft cloth dampened with a compatible solvent.
CAUTION
Never immerse the entire dispensing valve in
solvent. Immersing in solvent removes lubricants
and tends to damage packings.
To remove a hardened particle from the orifice, blow
air through the orifice from the front.
