Maintenance

Preventative maintenance will provide for many years of trouble-free use.
Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior of the machine weekly to help maintain the longevity of the mechanical
components in addition to the system's finish. This 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.
Cords
The remote and power cords are subject to considerable wear and tear during normal operation.
Inspect all cords prior to use to ensure safe operation. If any damage is observed, be sure to repair it
before operating the machine to avoid personal injury. Note: Do not pull on power cord when power
cord is plugged into machine or wall as damage may occur.
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 – and product -- exiting the machine outlet. It is
recommended to visually inspected seals each week to ensure proper running condition. Replace
airlock seals if a cut or tear is evident. Airlock seals should be replaced every 300 hours of operation,
or once per year. Visit www.inteccorp.com or contact Intec for replacement instructions.
Chain
Clean and lubricate the chain once per year. 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.
Blower
The blower's air intake and fan motor should be cleaned
every 20 – 30 hours of use to avoid potential overheating. A
vacuum or compressed air should be used for cleaning.
