SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Worn switch.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Full collection bag.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Bag Cleaning
Always empty the collection bag on a regular
basis. Emptying the collection bag allows the
machine to operate at a much higher level of effi-
ciency. Always wear the appropriate respirator or
dust mask and safety glasses when emptying the
collection bag. Small dust particles can escape
the bag during emptying, causing them to become
airborne and easily inhaled. This microscopic air-
borne dust is extremely unhealthy to breathe and
can cause serious health problems.

BEFORE
PROCEDURE!
Periodically check the impeller to make sure it is
tight on the motor shaft. Any unusual vibration
or noise may be an indication the impeller has
loosened. A set screw and a left-hand cap screw
secure the impeller to the shaft. These can be
accessed through the inlet cover, as shown in
Figure 23. Tighten the fasteners as needed.
