SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
maintaining pressurized air
system.

Schedule

For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme-
diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Fire hazards or smoldering combustibles.
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged filters, seals, valves.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Daily Maintenance
• Check operating pressure. If operating pres-
sure exceeds 6 inAq, refer to Cleaning/
Replacing Canister Filters on Page 37.
• Empty dust tray and drawer.
• Open drain valve to drain any condensation.
Weekly Maintenance
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from work area
and outside of machine.
Monthly Maintenance
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside
machine and off motor.
-34-
Semi-Annual Maintenance
• Check compressed air connections inside
motor compartment for leaks. If soapy water
at suspected leak creates bubbles, air is
escaping. Repair or replace affected parts.

Cleaning

Once a week, use a vacuum equipped with a
HEPA filter to remove dust and fume buildup from
the outside of the machine. Once a month, open
the maintenance door and remove the filters to
clean inside the machine. Wipe any remaining
dust with a disposable cloth that has been wet with
water. Wear protective gloves, ANSI-approved
safety goggles, and a NIOSH-approved respira-
tor when cleaning the machine to protect hands
against sharp metal chips and protect against any
airborne particles disturbed by cleaning.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use compressed air to
clean the machine—especially if indoors—as it
will likely cause unnecessary dust to become air-
borne and can damage the filters.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, NIOSH-
approved respirator, and protective gloves
when removing, cleaning, and replacing
filters. Carefully minimize amount of dust
allowed to become airborne, and prevent
spread of dust onto hands or clothing.
Dispose of all waste properly according to
local regulations for material type.
DO NOT clean or degrease machine with any
form of chlorinated hydrocarbons. When
introduced to arc welding operations, chlo-
rinated hydrocarbons produce phosgene
gas which can result in serious injury and
even death.
