SERVICE
Cleaning and General Maintenance
For best results, and to maintain the finish of the
turbine blower, clean or wash the turbine blower after
each use to remove leaves, dirt, and other debris.
If buildup of dirt or debris occurs on the turbine fins
or in the blower housing, blower efficiency can be
affected and a loss of air volume and velocity may be
noticed. If this occurs, clean the fins and housing using
an air nozzle with an extension or low pressure water.
Attention
Do not spray water into the blower while the
machine is running.
Belt Inspection
Inspecting the drive belts of the turbine blower
can
prevent sudden belt failure by finding problems
before they cause a belt to break.

on a drive
belt may
result in the
conditions

any of these
conditions
occur, the drive belt will require replacement.
