FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE<br />
Valves<br />
applied to the tap stamped “Lube” should exit at the appropriate cup on the<br />
inside diameter of the case.<br />
2 Plug the “Coolant Out” connection and apply 60 to 100 psi (4 to 7 bar) dry, compressed<br />
air pressure to the “Coolant In” connection through a ball valve with a<br />
calibrated pressure gauge located between the ball valve and packing case.<br />
Close the ball valve and disconnect the air supply. There should be no pressure<br />
drop for five minutes minimum. Cases which fail this testing procedure are to be<br />
disassembled, inspected, repaired, re-assembled and re-tested. Packing cases<br />
may be bolted into place in a cylinder head to aid sealing, using the proper bolting,<br />
and tightening torques.<br />
Most valves in JGZ and JGU cylinders use non-metallic plates.<br />
Valves - Removal<br />
!<br />
1. Loosen all of the cap screws slightly, on each valve cap. With all the cap screws<br />
loose, the cap should stay in its original position. If it pushes out on its own<br />
accord, STOP! Take steps to completely vent the cylinder. See Caution above. A<br />
typical valve assembly is shown in Figure 5-48 on Page 5-59.<br />
2. After all of the above safety checks and with cap screws still in place but<br />
loosened, move the valve-cap out until the O-ring clears the cylinder to be sure<br />
that the cylinder is properly vented. A pair of appropriate pry bars, one on each<br />
side of the cap, will help pry it out.<br />
3. Remove cap screws and valve cap.<br />
CAUTION<br />
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE ANY VALVE CAP, BE CERTAIN THAT ALL<br />
PRESSURE HAS BEEN VENTED FROM THE COMPRESSOR CYLINDER. THE<br />
PRESSURE MUST BE COMPLETELY VENTED FROM BOTH THE SUCTION AND<br />
DISCHARGE PASSAGES OF THE CYLINDER. SEE FIGURE 1-2 ON PAGE 1-6<br />
FOR LOCATION OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION PLATES.<br />
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT THE VALVE CAP, RETAINER AND/OR VALVE<br />
FROM FALLING OUT OF THE BOTTOM VALVE POCKETS TO PREVENT<br />
THE POTENTIAL OF PERSONAL INJURY.<br />
4. With the retainer still in place, screw a valve tool over the valve center bolt, see<br />
Figure 7-1 on Page 7-2.<br />
5. It may be necessary to loosen the plastic thumb screw retainer-keeper in the<br />
valve retainers.<br />
