Warning
Release the pressure from the compressor before starting repair or maintenance works. Switch off the
voltage and isolate the compressor from the mains.
5.1 Unloader or check valve
It is recommended to replace the unloader or check valve as indicated in section 4.2.
Dirt, condensate, coke formation and oxidation influence the proper operation of the valve. Depending on
the environmental and working conditions (ambient temperature, working pressure, load cycle, oil type),
the local Sales company may overrule the maintenance schedule (consult Atlas Copco).
5.2 Valves
A faulty valve must be replaced immediately. A faulty valve can be discovered as stated in section 6,
points 1 and 4. Consult Atlas Copco.
It is highly recommended to replace the valve discs, O-rings and gaskets if disassembling the cylinder
heads.
