How To Maintain Your ORBOT MICRO
Ensure machine is disconnected from electrical supply before inspection or maintenance is performed.
1)
Lubricate the upper motor bearing.
After every eight hours of use, lubricate the upper
motor bearing by placing 3 drops of light machine oil (e.g. 3-in-1 oil) in the center of the bronze
bushing found at the top of the motor housing.
2)
Clean tool of dirt, fiber, and other debris by blowing out with compressed air.
Every eight hours of use, or as conditions warrant, blow out the motor housing with compressed
air to clean out any accumulated dust or dirt. If the tool is being used to clean carpets,
be sure to blow out the motor housing after every use. If tool should get wet, be sure to blow dry
the underside of the tool.
3)
Inspect your carbon brushes.
Every forty hours of use, or as conditions warrant.
The carbon brushes in your ORBOT MICRO are
wear items and periodically will need replacing
(after 50 to 150 hour of use). The carbon brushes
that are used will shut off the machine when
needing to be replaced.
Refer to images shown for examples of good
and worn parts. Since brushes are wear items,
we recommend you keep a spare set of brushes.
