CAUTION
Before performing any work, be sure to refer to and follow all
recommended safety precautions set out in the applicable
Crown Service Manual. In addition, Crown recommends that all
mechanics wear appropriate protective items, such as safety
glasses, work gloves, and steel toed shoes, whenever performing
maintenance work on Crown equipment.

Software version 122676-001-08 through 122676-001-11 has a parameter to adjust the PVA (accessory) Main I crack
current level and valve Main G for each unique valve in order to limit the maximum accessory speed variation. Ref.:
Main I = Offset, Main G = Gain. The following procedure has been developed by Crown to simplify PVA (accessory
valve) calibration.
