®
mobile cleaning unit
features an adjustable belt tensioning system. Belts
and pulleys should be cleaned and inspected after
the first 25 hours for wear and pulley alignment
and regularly after that. If wear or glazing is
discovered, replacement is recommended.
Grease PTO drive shaft u-joints and bearings every
50 hours of operation. Use Penzoil™ ULTRA EPI
tacky lithium or Penzoil™ SPL2 grease.
HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM
If the engine is not properly maintained, the
exhaust gases will deposit carbon on the inside of
the lower xentherm heat exchanger exhaust tubes.
If this occurs the lower xentherm heat exchanger
will loose efficiency, and the mobile cleaning unit
will not produce heat as designed. Regularly
inspect the heat exchanger and if carbon build up is
noted, manually clean the exhaust tubes with a
wire brush. Proper maintenance of the truck engine
