General Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance:
• Change blower lubricating oil after the first 50
hours and every 500 hours thereafter. Service
the blower as recommended in the blower
operating manual.
Important:
Make sure to install the safety plug in crank-
case drain valve when draining is complete.
The safety plug prevents crankcase oil from
draining if the valve is accidentally opened.
• Check pulley clearances and drive belt tension
at least once each week.
• Check and tighten all mounting bolts and
hardware.
• Lubricate filter canister inspection door hinges
regularly.
• Check vacuum canister door seal and replace
if necessary. Coat the seal periodically with
silicone to help keep it pliable.
• Inspect and lubricate drain ball valves peri-
odically. Make sure to open and close all ball
valves at least once each month to keep them
free and operating properly.
• Inspect and lubricate the vacuum relief valves
to keep them operating properly.
• Inspect all hoses and fittings weekly for signs
of deterioration, chaffing and leaks. Repair or
replace as necessary.
Vacuum Tank and Hoses
Daily:
• Check for obvious loose mounting nuts and
bolts.
• Check vacuum hoses and connections. Re -
place if damaged or leaking.
• Inspect the vacuum filter access door and
make sure it is closing and sealing properly.
• Inspect the cutoff ball valve each time the
canister is dumped to insure it is free, not
damaged or cracked and operating properly.
Periodic Maintenance:
• Inspect vacuum tank door seal to ensure good
vacuum sealing and clean if necessary. Coat
the seal periodically with silicone to help keep
it pliable.
