The machine should be returned to the manufacturers (or an approved service agent)
after every 1000 hours use (or at intervals of 12 months) for a major service. The
service will include the following.
Strip down the machine.
Clean and inspect all parts for damage, replace as necessary.
Check all screws and fixings for damage, replace as necessary.
Check all bearings for smooth running, replace as necessary.
Check all electrical connections for continuity and damage, remake connections
and/or replace connectors as necessary.
Check all air box connections and insert settings. Replace any badly damaged
parts which compromise sealing integrity as necessary.
Replace the motor brushes (if necessary).
Check / Replace lower housing seals.
Check / Replace the drive shaft seal housing “O” rings.
Rebuild the machine, to current build standard.
Test.
As a general rule, every time an interchangeable part is removed and replaced by
a part of a different size, shape etc. the part being removed should be thoroughly
cleaned before being returned to its box. Similarly the cavity from which it was
removed can also be cleaned prior to the assembly of the replacement part.
Airbox parts:
keep clean, build
up of moisture and dust will
prevent the joint faces from
mating, prevent the housing
seal from sealing etc. Use any
traditional workshop cleaning
agent.
Tube clamp
inserts:
keep clean,
build up of moisture
and dust,
particularly in the
grooves, will reduce
the clamping effect.
Use any traditional
workshop cleaning
agent.
Cable guide parts:
keep clean, build
up of moisture and dust may nip the
cable. This could cause the machine
to stop feeding. Loosen the thumb
nuts and slide back the top plate to
expose the guide groove. Use any
traditional workshop cleaning agent.
