7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The information contained in this section has been
compiled from years’ worth of information gathered
from the field. It contains symptoms and usual
causes for the most common types of problems that
may occur. All available data concerning the trouble
should be systematically analyzed before undertak-
ing any repairs or component replacement.
A visual inspection is worth performing for almost all
problems and may avoid unnecessary additional
damage to the machine. The procedures which can
be performed in the least amount of time and with the
least amount of removal or disassembly of parts,
should be performed first. Adherence to a routine
maintenance regimen will minimize the occurrence of
many common problems. Refer to
Section 6.3,
Maintenance Schedule Table
for a typical mainte-
nance regimen program.
Although Vanair

may occur during the operation life of the machine

bleshooting information may be found in other

WARNING
DO NOT operate any of the Air N Arc 300
Series All-In-One Power System’s
functions if there is a known unsafe
condition. Disable the equipment by
disconnecting it from its power source.
Install a lock-out tag to identify the
equipment as inoperable to other

application.
WARNING
Before starting, performing maintenance,
or replacing parts, relieve the entire
system pressure by opening the air tank
drain valve, which will vent all pressure
to the atmosphere.
