Bonjour,
I fully agree with Stoker by feeding the machine with WD40 or equivalent because I have noticed that, using a 480 thick oil and using rarely my mechines, the side valves do not stick back properly after a while.

Generally speaking, I solve this problem just by putting a higher pressure, 3-4 bar / 45 - 60 PSI on them.
