SVC 7-1
Section 7
VALVES
This section is intended to help the technician isolate problems to a specific valve component or com-
ponents. The HP 5890 Series II may be found in many different configurations, with varying component
options. This complicates the process of providing detailed troubleshooting procedures for even gener-
al problems. But, by using the general troubleshooting techniques presented here, successful results
should be achieved.
Specific part numbers are not given in this portion of the service manual. For all replacement part num-
bers, refer to the Section 7 of the IPB portion of this document.
This document is not meant to provide instruction for first time installation of any of the options dis-
cussed. The add-on sheets, which accompany the various options, exist for just this purpose, and
should be referenced when performing a first time installation.
