BLOWER MAINTENANCE
Keeping the blower as clean as possible will avoid system overheating.
Overheating will cause lowered production, possible system failure and shorten
the expected life of your FORCE/2. Inspect blower brushes every three
months or 100 hours of use. Replace brushes when they reach
1
⁄
4
inch or less in
length. Change the brushes before the brush stunt touches the commutator.
When reassembling, the lead wires must be isolated from the motor frame and
any rotating parts. For optimum performance, new brushes must be properly
seated against the commutator before operating your FORCE/2 at full power.
NOTE: BRUSH INSTALLATION
After installation of new brushes, plug in machine as normal and set blower
speed control (variable speed) at 30% of full power, run for
1
⁄
2
hour. Set blower
speed control at 70% of full power, run for
1
⁄
2
hour.
CLEANING
Use compressed air to blow out motor and intake of blower every 20-30
hours of use to maximize blower impeller and motor life.
