6. Maintenance
6.1 Important
Servicing should be carried out by qualified, skilled
personnel. For further information, please contact our
Technical Assistance Department or our authorized dealers.
Before servicing, make sure there is no gas under pressure in the
regulator body by first cutting off inlet and outlet gas in the line
being serviced and then letting it out via the appropriate bleed
cock.
7. Setting
Mount a pressure gauge downstream of the regulator so as to
measure outlet pressure. Turn adjusting screw (1) clockwise to
increase pressure or anticlockwise to diminish it, as the case
requires. Wherever great pressure variation is required with
respect to the original set-point, spring (4) may have to be
replaced with a more suitable one.
Check pilot setting in case of pilot-fitted regulator (see Bulletin
0092).

The manufacturer reserves the right to make modifications in the technical data reported in this Bulletin for continual improvement of its products.

Manutenzione gruppo di riarmo
a ) Fare scattare l’organo di sgancio e rimuovere la presa di
controllo; svitare le viti (86 e 91) e smontare l’insieme gruppo di
riarmo-organo di sgancio.
b) Allentare i grani (G) e sfilare l’organo di sgancio dal gruppo di
riarmo.
c ) Svitare il dado (D).
d) Svitare lo stelo (78) e scomporre l’albero (82), la molla (79), il
reggi-molla (84) e l’O-Ring (83)
e ) Svitare il tappo (89) e rimuovere la molla (87) e le sfere (90 e 92).
f ) Togliere la spina (96), svitare il grano (105) e sfilare l’albero
(103); controllare gli anelli antifrizione (94 e 98) e l’O-Ring (97),
sostituire se necessario.
g) Pulire e controllare tutti i particolari, sostituire quelli usurati.
h) Lubrificare le parti in movimento e rimontare i particolari
procedendo in senso inverso alle operazioni sopra descritte. Nel
rimontare il gruppo di riarmo assicurarsi che la camma (93) sia
sulla destra dell’operatore. A operazione ultimata controllare che
ruotando in senso antiorario l’albero (103) la pastiglia del blocco (30) apra.
Maintenance of reset assembly
a ) Trip pilot and remove impulse connection. Then loosen
and remove screws (86 and 91) and take off the combined
reset and pilot assembly.
b ) Loosen dowels (G) and slide out the pilot from the reset
assembly.
c ) Unscrew nut (D).
d ) Unscrew stem (78) and remove shaft (82), spring (79),
spring holder (84) and O-Ring (83).
e ) Unscrew plug (89) and remove spring (87) and balls (90 and 92).
f ) Remove pin (96), unscrew dowel (105) and then slide out
shaft (103). Check antifriction rings (94 and 98) and O-ring
(97); replace if required.
g ) Clean and check all components and replace if worn.
h ) Lubricate moving parts and reassemble by reversing the
steps set out above. When reassembling reset assembly,
make sure that cam (93) is to the right of the operator.
Upon completion of maintenance procedure, check opening
of slam-shut pad (30) by rotating shaft (103) anticlockwise.
