General Maintenance Tasks
Daily cleaning
Vacuum or brush off the machine with a stiff bristled paint brush
daily
, removing dust and debris
from all operating areas including the sensors.
Air Pressure Regulator
Check the incoming air pressure
every 40-80
hours of operation
to ensure it is set to 85 psi
with all vacuums ON. Adjust if necessary.
Inspect the air regulator for moisture accumula-
tion after
every 40 hours of operation
. Turn the
petcock on the bottom of the regulator clockwise
to release the fluid if moisture is present. Tighten
the petcock when moisture is gone.
Note
: Frequency of moisture build-up will
vary with air quality. Check the Air Pres-
sure Regulator periodically to determine
if fluids need to be released more fre-
quently.
Other than the release of moisture build-up, the TM-402 pneumatic system should not
require adjustment or replacement. Should an issue with the pneumatic system arise, call
V-Tek Service for assistance.
Caution!
The TM-402 air supply should be adjusted to operate at a maximum working
pressure not exceeding 7.6 bar (110 psi). The maximum permissible source
pressure should not exceed 9 bar (130 psi). Failure to set the within these lim-
its could result in a failure in the pneumatic system which could lead to injury.
Lubrication
No lubrication is required or desired on the TM-402 as all parts are no maintenance in this regard
and the use of lubricants could interfere with components.
