Schedule of Checks and Maintenance
To ensure the continued performance of your Filtermist system, the following daily, weekly and monthly checks
should be carried out. The forms included in this book should be used to record these checks, together with
comments on any corrective action required.
A separate section for regular maintenance and unplanned repair work is also included and should be completed
as appropriate.
Any failure found should be reported to the person responsible for maintenance work.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the LEV Manual for more information.
It is important these records are kept up to date as they will help ensure the system is operating correctly and
provide evidence that HSE guidelines are being followed.
Daily Checks
• Check that the unit is turned on and operational.
• Once the unit is running, check the status of the airflow monitor (if fitted).
Weekly Checks
• Check all grilles and pre-filters within the extraction ductwork and ensure they are clear.
• Check that the machine enclosure is clearing.
• Check that the hoods (if applicable) are in the correct position to ensure that contaminants are being cleared
from within the working zone.
• Check the position of airflow regulator controls. These will have been set and marked during the
commissioning process.
Monthly Checks
• Check any interconnecting ductwork for any damage or leaks and check that all ductwork connections are
secure.
• Check that the drain hose is unrestricted and not submerged. Empty the collection container if one is used.
• Check that any ‘U’ bend drain (if fitted) is functioning correctly. Follow similar checks for the drain hose.
• Check for excessive vibration or unusual noises from the Filtermist unit.
• Check the capture hoods (if fitted) for damage or blockage.
• Check the condition of afterfilter (if fitted).
