Maintenance and troubleshooting
6.1
General
The
exodraft
Inline fan is designed for prolonged use, and no regular maintenance is required. This specifically applies
in case it is being used with fuel oil. The Inline fan is designed to make this an easy task. The front part of the venter has
the motor and impeller mounted on it, and it slides out to provide easy access.
The CFI should be inspected periodically (at least once a year) for leakage, and cleaned, if needed.
