4 INSTALLATION AND START-UP

4.1 Installing the 4-way valve

• The 4-way valve must be installed with the valve spindle shaft horizontally. See illustraion below.
All horizontal positions are allowed.

• Do NOT install the 4-way valve with the valve spindle shaft vertically. See illustration below.
All vertical positions are prohibited.

DOC1634922_3

| DOC9100 17
4-way valve

4.2 Securing the 4-way valve

• Gaskets to be handeled with highest degree of caution.

• Gasket and sealing surfaces must be cleaned before assembly and without damage.
• If the tolerance for securing the 4-way valve is not observed, there is a risk of
damage.

The 4-way valve must be installed on a stable foundation, which must be level and stable, so that the
4-way valve is not twisted or exposed to a ±0.1 mm profile distortion.

Bolts must be tightened in accordance with supplier’s instructions.

Ensure that the flow direction is correct before assembly.

The 4-way valve’s end stop can only be used as a stop when operating with manual handle bar. When
activated with a cylinder, the cylinder’s own end stop is used.

4.3 Flange connections

Deflection on the flanges from the welding process can affect the tolerances inside the valve and block the
cones free rotation. Therefore its important to use machined flanges or alternatively use maximum 8 mm
flanges. See below illustration.

5 SERVICE, MAINTENANCE AND

INSPECTION INTERVALS

A failure to observe the inspection intervals described in table below, may result in
damage to the 4-way valve.

Only qualified personnel may carry out repairs.

Use only original materials and components as described, during repair and maintenance.

During repair or disassembly, check that the flow direction remains unchanged.

For repair of the actuator, see accompanying supplier instructions.

Section Operation Interval

5.1 Visually inspect for leakage Weekly

5.2 Inspection and cleaning (if necessary) Monthly

5.1 Inspecting for leakage

The 4-way valve and pipe system around, must be inspected for leakage once a week. The inspection must
be performed when the 4-way valve is both operating and idle. Any leaks must be repaired before operation
may continue.

5.2 Inspection and cleaning

The pipe connections of 4-way valves must be inspected at least once a month, and any contaminants
must be removed.

The 4-way valve must always run easily and effortlessly, otherwise it must be cleaned.
