Preventative/Precautionary Maintenance

The frequency and extent of attention required will vary according to prevailing site
and operational conditions.
Visual: check internal component condition. Inspect for debris, scale deposition,
deformation, damage, corrosion, etc. Maintain or renew as necessary. Lubricate
applicable components using silicone-only based lubricant.

Lubricants

Important: Use silicone-only based lubricants on this product. Do not use oil-
based or other lubricant types as these may cause rapid deterioration of seals.

Maintenance Procedures

1.
