discharged from the vacuum exhaust and onto the lane until the line is cleared.
4. Transporting the machine with waste in the recovery tank is one of the worst things
that an operator can do. It should be strictly forbidden to allow any of your
employees to do this. The vacuum will get trashed out and begin to have problems
and it will also affect the battery life. Expensive PLC replacement is also possible if
you are not lucky enough to clean it and have it still work (after is takes a nasty bath).
5. It is recommended that the inside of the tank be cleaned and the filter material in the
tank be replaced periodically. Maintenance will vary depending on center size of the
center, it is best to inspect the tank filter by looking though the outlet end (where the
vacuum is connected) to determine how often it needs to be maintained.
To Replace the Filter:
1. Remove the Allen screws from the cover to access the filter.
2. Remove the filter and replace or clean it.
3. Inspect the gasket and re-fasten the cover to the recovery tank.
TECHNICAL
We suggest swapping recovery tank filters after each cleaning. Order a spare recovery
tank filter.
Pump Tubing Replacement
It is recommended that the pump tubing be replaced every
year. When the cleaner pump's maximum volume output is
a problem, follow these instructions to disassemble the
pump and replace the tubing. To perform the following
steps you will need to use the tubing loading key. This key
(diagram on opposite screen) is attached to the top of the cleaner pump assembly with a
screw. Replace the key when finished.
STEPS:
1. Release both tube fittings from the quick disconnects
(depress collet and pull tube from quick disconnect fitting).
2. Remove the four screws that attach the pump to the
mounting plate.
3. Remove both stem elbows from tubing (note the direction of
elbows). Save for re-installation on new tubing if a complete
assembly is not being installed.
4. Separate the end bells (the pump head valves
