  • Page 42: Recommended Replacement Intervals

    7. Recommended Replacement Intervals The Staco ELIS has a long design life. Due to the characteristics of the part, not the design of the ELIS, certain components used in the design have a limited life, even with proper maintenance. Service and maintenance work must be performed only by factory authorized personnel. Staco recommends these limited-life components be periodically inspected and replaced before the expected expiration of their life cycle.
