Due to the generally low mechanical stress of the Reach Rod cover, the systems remains permanently functional in case of proper handling and use. The Flexible Reach Rod and components require only minimum maintenance, which is dependent on external influences und to be determined by the operator. We recommend to perform general status check-ups and functional tests in regular intervals of maximum 2 years, including an operation of the corresponding valve. On these occasions, the Flexible Reach Rod should also be re-greased.
