  • Verify the actuator moves freely without resistance.
  • Check for unusual noises during operation.
  • Ensure any feedback mechanisms are functioning.
  • Look for signs of wear or damage.
  • Test actuator response to control signals.
  • Manually operate each valve to check for smooth action.
  • Listen for hissing or other abnormal sounds.
  • Check for leaks around valve seals.
  • Verify that valves open and close as intended.
  • Inspect valve actuators for proper operation.
  • Use recommended lubricants for each component.
  • Apply lubricant to moving parts as specified.
  • Avoid over-lubrication that could attract dirt.
  • Clean excess lubricant from surfaces.
  • Check lubrication intervals based on manufacturer guidelines.
  • Check the pressure gauge for accuracy.
  • Adjust the regulator to meet operational specifications.
  • Ensure the adjustment knob is secure.
  • Inspect for leaks around the regulator.
  • Document any changes made to the settings.
  • Remove filters and visually inspect for contamination.
  • Use compressed air to clean reusable filters.
  • Replace disposable filters as needed.
  • Ensure proper sealing upon reinstallation.
  • Check filter housing for cracks or damage.
  • Inspect hoses for cracks, bulges, or fraying.
  • Check fittings for rust or corrosion.
  • Ensure all connections are secure.
  • Replace any damaged hoses or fittings.
  • Verify that the hose length is appropriate.
  • Manually actuate the valve to check for proper release.
  • Listen for hissing or unusual sounds during testing.
  • Inspect valve seats for wear or debris.
  • Ensure the valve resets properly after operation.
  • Document the test results for records.
  • Inspect control panels and wiring for signs of corrosion.
  • Check connectors for secure fit and damage.
  • Look for signs of moisture ingress.
  • Clean any corroded areas with appropriate materials.
  • Replace corroded components as necessary.
  • Verify that all components are securely mounted.
  • Check alignment of actuators with their loads.
  • Use leveling tools to ensure proper positioning.
  • Inspect for any loose bolts or screws.
  • Adjust mounting as necessary to prevent strain.
  • Run the system in normal operating mode.
  • Observe for any irregularities in operation.
  • Check for leaks during the test.
  • Monitor pressure and flow rates.
  • Document the performance results.
  • Verify that all system changes are documented.
  • Update schematics to reflect current configurations.
  • Ensure all personnel have access to the latest documents.
  • Cross-check documentation with actual system layout.
  • File updated documents in a secure location.
  • Remove solenoid valves for inspection.
  • Clean the valve body and internal components.
  • Check for signs of wear or damage.
  • Test the solenoid operation with a power supply.
  • Reinstall valves securely after cleaning.
  • Inspect moisture separators for proper function.
  • Ensure drain valves are operational and clear.
  • Check for water accumulation in air lines.
  • Document any issues found during inspection.
