10 RUPTURE VALVE TESTING PROCEDURE

10.11  Remove the ram from the lift and lay it on the floor.

10.12  Remove elbow fitting from the base of the ram.

10.13  Remove the rupture valve from inside the ram. This can be done by inserting pins   in the holes and turning. The valve is generally only finger tight.


10.14  Using feeler gauges, check the gap of the valve. The gap should be set to 0.5mm.

Note - The gap tends not to be uniform around the valve, so set the gap to an average.

10.15  Replace the valve back into the ram base, and screw in until finger tight. - DO NOT  OVERTIGHTEN.

10.16  Replace elbow and reinstall ram into the Homelift.

10.17  Run the lift up and down a few times before re-checking the operation of the  rupture valve.

10.18  In the event of the valve not working the valve gap will need to be reduced by  0.1mm increments until correct operation is achieved.

10.19  With the rupture valve working correctly check that with full load in the car, the  valve does  not operate during normal running of the lift.
