Maintenance
1. Check
the
air
filter
regularly
for
contamination. The replacement interval for
the filter is directly proportional to use.
Replace the filter when the air flow is
diminished.
The filter is the same air filter typically used in
GM passenger cars with the 454 cubic inch
gasoline engine.
Seal the used filter in a plastic bag before
disposal.
2. Check the chip tube periodically to make sure
it is securely attached to the chip tray. Inspect
the tube for holes or cracks. Replace the tube
if it is damaged or leaks.
The chip tube is a typical 2” pre-heater hose.
3. If the gas struts are damaged, or begin to
weaken, replace them with struts of the same
force and length as the originals. Failure to
use the correct strut may create a hazard to
the operator. Replacement struts are available
from AMMCO.
4. Check the chip bucket and empty it before it
reaches capacity. If the chip bucket becomes
full, chips and other material will back up into
the chip tray and the interior of the Enclosure.
Dispose of the material in the bucket properly.
