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 accumulation
after
every 40 hours of operation . Turn the pet-
cock 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 Pressure
Regulator periodically to determine if fluids need to be released more frequently. Other
than the release of moisture build-up, the TM-500 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-500 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 limits
could result in a failure in the pneumatic system which could lead to injury.
Lubrication
No lubrication is required or desired on the TM-500 as all parts are no maintenance in this regard
and the use of lubricants could interfere with components.
