2. Tubing & Fittings
a) Check the colored poly tubing for signs of oil which may have entered the lines
through the air regulator. If the tubing has discolored, have the compressor
checked. Discoloration is typically a sign of oil within the air supply lines.
b) Check all tubing and connectors/fittings for wear. Replace as needed.
3. Atomizer Nozzle Maintenance and Replacement
If clogging of the atomizer occurs, remove it and, with compressed air, blow air into
the face of the nozzle, thereby blowing any dirt out the back. Avoid using any
instrument to clean the nozzle. Over-cleaning will enlarge the air holes and change
the operating characteristics of the nozzle.
4. Cabinet Heaters
The cabinet heaters must be checked on a regular basis, but at least every month.
Inspect the heaters for any salt or residue accumulation. If accumulation of any type
is present, the heaters must be cleaned. Inspect the heaters for any signs of wear or
degradation including but not limited to discoloration of the heater sheath, or breaking
down of the coating. If any signs of wear or degradation are present, replace the
heater immediately. No further testing should be done until the heater has been
replaced.
To avoid possible down-time during an important test, it is suggested that cabinet
heaters be replaced every year.
