cylinder operates at high temperatures, only a dry lubricant, resistant to high
When using cooling water from the mains tap in areas with a high
chalk or mineral content, deposits can build up in the cooling coil.
This may reduce the cooling effect, so once a year the cooling coil
should be decalcified.
Remove the mounting unit. (See this section.)
Flush the coil with a mild decalcifying fluid, such as that used
