Maintenance The PCM must not be disassembled. No user-serviceable parts are contained within. Contact the local Parker Service Centre (see www.parker.com) for maintenance and re-calibration queries. Cleaning A damp, soft cloth should be used to clean the exterior of the PCM. Aggressive chemicals must not be used to clean the PCM.
Press OK to Continue Any service or repair work must be carried out by a Parker approved Service Centre (see www.parker.com). Contact the local Parker Sales Company (see www.parker.com) for re-calibration details. The recommended period between re-calibration is 12 months.
