Check Leakage; Gas Cylinder Numbers For Operation - Shizuoka Seiki Co. VAL6 GN5 Manuel D'instructions

Operation

Check Leakage

• Check all connections for leaks. Apply a soap and water solution to all connections and check for bubbles. If any
leaks are detected, retightening of connections is required immediately.
• Shut off the gas supply valve before refastening the connections.
• After repairing the leaks, retry to check connections for leaks with a soap and water solution.
Do not touch or adjust a brass pipe on solenoid valve. This is intended for maintenance person to
check the manifold pressure. If it is made any adjustment improperly, gas leakage may occur.
