1. General
The shut-off valve must be dismantled, cleaned and inspected according to Main-
tenance Schedule 0380−1.
Remark: To avoid water accumulation in the main starting air piping, open water
drain pipe on the main starting air piping after each starting operation for a short
time.
Risk of accident! Before starting work on the shut-off valve for starting air it is es-
sential to manually close the stop valves on the starting air receivers.
The turning gear must be engaged.
The venting valve 2.21 to connection ’EV’ as well as the valve 2.27 must be open
for venting and draining the main starting air piping on the engine (see Control Dia-
gram 4003−2 in the Operating Manual).
2. Dismantling and assembly
