4-9: Machine Maintenance
Daily
At the end of each day the internal components of the blower need to be lubricated. This
helps to prevent rust deposits and prolongs the life of the truckmount.
Lubricate the blower to prevent it from rusting internally by:
a. Allow the unit to run for a few minutes with the vacuum hose disconnected in
order to remove moisture from the blower.
b. Cap off the inlet to the vacuum tank.
c. Spray a LPS TKX spray lubricant into the “ BLOWER LUBE PORT” for about 2
to 3 seconds while the unit is running.
d. Run the machine an additional 2 to 5 minutes to flash off lubricant.
e. Uncap the inlet, set throttle at IDLE and run the unit for 1 minute to allow the
blower to cool down.
Periodically
Change the oil in both ends of the blower after the initial 100 hours of use. Change the oil
each 500 hours of use thereafter.
