86 “Extended time” procedure
Section 4: Orifice plate installation and removal instructions Owner and operator manual
January 2015 3-9008-001 Rev M
Important
By turning the stem of the Grease Gun (23) at a rate of 4 to 6 turns per minute, the lubricant is
forced through the Slide Valve Seat (18) channels at a rate that allows the lubricant to travel
freely, yet not separate the valve strip from the valve seat. This method will keep fresh grease in
the lubrication passages.
Although the fluid pressure contained in the Top (14) is reduced to ambient conditions in the
following operations, remnants of the fluid still remain in that chamber. The operator must
employ a system to address the remaining fluid based upon the fluids’ chemical composition
and toxicity.
27. Monitor the fluid/gas pressure in the Top (14) to ensure that it is equal to ambient
conditions.
28. Loosen each Clamping Bar Screw (11) located on the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP)
approximately two turns with the Operating Wrench (2).
PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD
When opening the bleeder valve (10B) or venting the Top (14) thru the bleeder valve (10B),
direct the released pressurized fluid and/or gas to safe area away from any individual in
accordance with local environment regulations.
The bleeder valve (10B) releases pressurized fluid that may cause contamination and/or
accumulation of volatile gas mixtures. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.
The pressure contained in the Top (14) must be lowered to ambient pressure in order to begin
any Orifice Plate (13) procedures. When lowering the pressure in the Top (14) the operator must
direct fluid or gas escaping from the Body (4) to a safe area away from the operator and in
accordance with local environmental regulations.
