Maintenance
5. Close the cover and the machine will initiate the cool-down phase and perform a number of vacuum cycles
while the cover stays closed and the machine will turn off automatically after about 15 minutes.
- These cycles are necessary to cool down the machine and to allow any moisture in the oil of the pump to
evaporate.
GENERAL
Regular maintenance prevents equipment malfunctions and prolongs the life of the machine. In addition, it
optimizes sanitary conditions.
• Always have a certified Henkovac dealer carry out repair and maintenance activities.
WARNING
• During maintenance activities, always turn the machine off at the main switch and/or unplug it from the
electrical outlet.
ATTENTION
Observe the recommended service intervals. Overdue maintenance may lead to costly repairs and overhauls,
and may void the equipment warranty.
• After reaching a programmed number of operating hours or packing cycles, the service symbol will
briefly appear on the display when the machine is started up. In addition, the display will indicate how many
hours or cycles remain before an oil change is required.
• After passing the service limit, the display will indicate the negative number of excess operating hours or
cycles.
VACUUM PUMP
To protect the vacuum pump, proper maintenance is important. Carry out the following tasks carefully:
• Check the vents and clean as necessary before turning on the machine to assure proper cooling of the
pump.
• When the air filter is saturated with oil, an oil mist may be expelled; replacement of the filter is required.
• Use the cool-down/dehumidification feature. When turning off the machine and closing the cover ,
the pump continues to run for some time. Any moisture in the oil of the pump will evaporate during this
phase. This increases the longevity of the machine and minimizes the need for oil changes and pump
maintenance.
• Check the oil level regularly and add as needed.
• Change the oil when the service symbol appears on the display.
NOTE
To reset the service interval counters after the oil change: Start machine and while the display shows the
hours or cycles, press and hold the button.
