8.5 Vent excess helium from the helium compressor package
Required tools:
Quantity Description Comment
1 3/4 in open end wrench For Aeroquip coupling
1 Service Aeroquip coupling For service access port
CAUTION
Venting more than 5 psig (0.34 bar) of helium per minute will lead to improper oil migration within
the system. If this condition occurs, factory service will be required.
This procedure should only be used to vent small quantities of helium from an overcharged
system.
1. Make sure the service valve is closed. See Figure 8-2.
2. Attach the service Aeroquip coupling to the service access port.
