Maintenance and Repair Clean solenoid valve. Period: Trimonthly. Clean Y-type filter. Period: monthly. Clean the pipe heater, cooling pipe. Period: Every three months. Check the contactor. Period: Every three months. Pay attention to the following rules during maintenance: 1) Need at least two persons present when checking the machine. Let the machine cool down, turn off power supply, drain out the oil and water.
