Maintenance
Preventative maintenance will provide for many years of trouble-free use.
VANGUARD:
Please consult the VANGUARD manual for appropriate engine maintenance.
A few quick items related to the engine:
1. Initial oil change required after 20 hours of use- made easy with the quick drain hose and valve.
a. Recommend to use 5W-30 synthetic oil; consult manual for ideal oil in your operating
region and typical temperature ranges.
2. Clean engine air filter weekly, Replace at time of oil changes or as necessary.
3. Replace fuel filter at time of oil changes or as necessary.
4. Run engine at full throttle for appropriate operation of the FORCE 5650 blowing machine.
Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior of the machine weekly by wiping with a rag and/or blowing with
compressed air; this will help maintain the longevity of the mechanical components in addition to the
system's finish. The machine has been designed to work in a dusty environment. However, without
periodic cleaning and maintenance, the performance of the machine will decline potentially leading to
failure.
Wired Remote Cord
Ensure your wired remote cord is in good operating condition with the black jacket not worn and no
individual wires showing. If an individual wire is showing, or if wires were pulled from the transmitter's
jacket or male plug which inserts into the control panel, correct prior to use.
Chain
Clean and lubricate the chains once per year or as needed. Use a dry lubricant when lubricating the
chain; do not use oil as oil will attract foreign particles like dust to chain. If the machine is often used
in dusty conditions, then clean and lubricate the chain more frequently than once per year.
Belts
Belts will stretch over time. New belts will stretch relatively quickly and limited additional stretching
over use. The belts are properly tensioned when leaving the factory. Your FORCE 5650 is equipped
with auto tensioning pulleys so no adjustment should be required as belts stretch.
Airlock and Seals
The airlock assembly is one the most important items to keep in good condition. Foreign objects in the
airlock can cause damage and reduce the machine's production. Seal failure is the most common
airlock assembly failure. Seal failure prevents the airlock from holding the proper pressure. Seal
failure will reduce the machine's production. A machine with seal failure will have air blow out of the
airlock into the hopper, reducing the amount of air exiting the machine outlet. It is recommended to
