7 Maintenance
7.1 General Maintenance
Caution
 Not following proper maintenance procedures could cause the product
to malfunction and lead to equipment damage.
 If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous.
 Maintenance of pneumatic systems should be performed only by
qualified personnel.
 Before performing maintenance, turn off the power supply and be sure
to cut off the supply pressure. Confirm that the air is released to
atmosphere.
 After installation and maintenance, apply operating pressure and
power to the equipment and perform appropriate functional and
leakage tests to make sure the equipment is installed correctly.
 If any electrical connections are disturbed during maintenance, ensure
they are reconnected correctly and safety checks are carried out as
required to ensure continued compliance with applicable national
regulations.
 Do not make any modification to the product.
 Do not disassemble the product, unless required by installation or
maintenance instructions.
7.2 Mounting
Danger
 Never add or remove a valve from the manifold when energised.
 Never remove terminal box cover when power is connected to the
manifold.
 Never disconnect or reconnect cables or connectors when power is
connected to the valves.
Caution
 Be sure to cut off power and the air supply and confirm that no air is
left in actuators, piping and manifolds before disassembling, as
remaining air may cause an accident.
 Before assembly and installations, confirm that rubber parts such as
gaskets and O rings are assembled to every block. If rubber parts are
missing, air leakage may occur.
Manifold 50-VFE-X60:
Removal of valve
 Remove screws and gently lift valve from manifold.
 Ensure gasket and spacer are not misplaced or damaged.
 Disconnect electrical connection.

Assembly of valve
 Reconnect the electrical connection.
 Assemble valve to the manifold in the correct orientation, ensuring
spacer and all gaskets are present.
 Torque tighten screws to torque shown in Table 5.
