PRODUCT ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.
Component Inspection:
Prior to assembly or installation
a careful examination of the valves, FRLs or vacuum products
must be performed. All components must be checked for
correct style, size, and catalog number. DO NOT use any
component that displays any signs of nonconformance.
3.2.
Installation Instructions:
Parker published Installation
Instructions must be followed for installation of Parker valves,
FRLs and vacuum components. These instructions are
provided with every Parker valve or FRL sold, or by calling
1-800-
CPARKER, or at
www.parker.com
.
3.3.
Air Supply:
The air supply or control medium supplied to
Valves, FRLs and Vacuum components must be moisture-free
if ambient temperature can drop below freezing

VALVE AND FRL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
Maintenance:
Even with proper selection and installation,
valve, FRL and vacuum products service life may be
significantly reduced without a continuing maintenance
program. The severity of the application, risk potential from
a component failure, and experience with any known failures
in the application or in similar applications should determine
the frequency of inspections and the servicing or replacement
of Pneumatic Division products so that products are replaced
before any failure occurs. A maintenance program must
be established and followed by the user and, at minimum,
must include instructions 4.2 through 4.10.
4.2.
Installation and Service Instructions:
Before attempting
to service or replace any worn or damaged parts consult the
appropriate Service Bulletin for the valve or FRL in question
for the appropriate practices to service the unit in question.
These Service and Installation Instructions are provided
with every Parker valve and FRL sold, or are available by
calling 1-800-CPARKER, or by accessing the Parker web site
at
www.parker.com.
4.3.
Lockout / Tagout Procedures:
Be sure to follow all required
lockout and tagout procedures when servicing equipment.
For more information see: OSHA Standard – 29 CFR, Part
1910.147,
Appendix A, The Control of Hazardous Energy –
(
Lockout / Tagout)
4.4.
Visual Inspection:
Any of the following conditions requires
immediate system shut down and replacement of worn or
damaged components:
•
Air leakage: Look and listen to see if there are any signs of
visual damage to any of the components in the system.
Leakage is an indication of worn or damaged components.
•
Damaged or degraded components: Look to see if there are
any visible signs of wear or component degradation.
•
Kinked, crushed, or damaged hoses. Kinked hoses can
result in restricted air flow and lead to unpredictable system
behavior.
•
Any observed improper system or component function:
Immediately shut down the system and correct malfunction.
•
Excessive dirt build-up: Dirt and clutter can mask potentially
hazardous situations.

Caution: Leak detection solutions should be rinsed off after
use.
4.5.
Routine Maintenance Issues:
•
Remove excessive dirt, grime and clutter from work areas.
•
Make sure all required guards and shields are in place.
4.6.
Functional Test:
Before initiating automatic operation,
operate the system manually to make sure all required
functions operate properly and safely.
4.7.
Service or Replacement Intervals:
It is the user’s
responsibility to establish appropriate service intervals.
Valves, FRLs and vacuum products contain components
that age, harden, wear, and otherwise deteriorate over time.
Environmental conditions can significantly accelerate this
process. Valves, FRLs and vacuum components need to be
serviced or replaced on routine intervals. Service intervals
need to be established based on:
•
Previous performance experiences.
•
Government and / or industrial standards.
•
When failures could result in unacceptable down time,
equipment damage or personal injury risk.
4.8.
Servicing or Replacing of any Worn or Damaged Parts:
To avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause
death, personal injury and property damage:
•
Follow all government, state and local safety and
servicing practices prior to service including but not limited
to all OSHA Lockout Tagout procedures (OSHA Standard
– 29
CFR, Part 1910.147, Appendix A, The Control of
Hazardous Energy – Lockout / Tagout).
•
Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before
installation, servicing, or conversion.
•
Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines
connected to system and Pneumatic Division products
before installation, service, or conversion.
•
Installation, servicing, and / or conversion of these products
must be performed by knowledgeable personnel who
understand how pneumatic products are to be applied.
•
After installation, servicing, or conversions air and
electrica supplies (when necessary) should be connected
and the product tested for proper function and leakage.
If audible leakage is present, or if the product does not
operate properly, do not put product or system into use.
•
Warnings and specifications on the product should not be
covered or painted over. If masking is not possible, contact
your local representative for replacement labels.
4.9.
Putting Serviced System Back into Operation:
Follow the
guidelines above and all relevant Installation and Maintenance
Instructions supplied with the valve FRL or vacuum
component to insure proper function of the system.
