Component

Pressure/Vacuum unit assembly air pressure valve

Problem

The pressure/vacuum unit assembly includes a valve that has an additional air tube hole (referred to as an air pressure valve for future use in the FCO documentation). The hole is open, which creates a vacuum leak and causes intermittent plate pickup failure.

Solution

Install a valve stopper (shown below) in the extra hole of the pressure/vacuum unit assembly valve.

Time needed to implement

1/2 hour

Prerequisite FCOs

None

Parts needed

Special Tools needed

Procedure

1. Open the front door and locate the pressure/vacuum unit assembly valve—it is inside the chassis to your right, as shown in the picture below.



2. Locate the open hole in the valve (shown above) and install the valve stopper, as shown below. Use a 3mm Allen key to tighten the valve stopper firmly in place.
   Note: Do not apply Loctite^®.
3. Close the front door, load and unload a few plates and verify that the plates are picked up without problems.
