DRIVE BELTS, PULLEYS & HUBS
1. Check pulley set screws and hub screws after the
first 50 hours of operation and again at 100 hours.
Re-torque these screws with a torque wrench.
Follow the torque values on the following table.
Check pulley set screws and hub screws every
500
hours thereafter.
!
Ensure that when you re-torque the screws, you
use a clockwise pattern and continue until the
proper torque is achieved.

The VORTEX 8000Q
®
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. Part # 13-
031
!
Failure to lubricate the drive system will result
in drive system failure.
HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM
Proper maintenance of the truck engine (regular
tune-ups and use of proper fuels) will help prevent
excessive carbon build up.
If excessive carbon build up is occurring, inspect
and clean exhaust diverter valve to ensure proper
operation.
Maintain proper engine coolant levels. Refer to
vehicle owner’s manual for recommended fluid
types and levels.
Replace heat transfer fluid every
500 hours
of
operation. Failure to do so will result in reduced
heating capacity, and will eventually coat the
insides of the upper and lower xentherm heat
exchangers with a lacquer like substance. This will
reduce efficiency and result in irreparable damage
to the xentherm heat exchangers.
CHEMICAL PUMP
The chemical pump should be rebuilt every 1000
hours.
This involves changing the diaphragm,
check valves, and inspecting the disk.
