Vertex aeration systems are designed for low-maintenance and typically only require minimal scheduled maintenance. Periodic cleaning and/or
replacement of the compressor air filter, piston cup, and “flexing” of the AirStation™ is required. Remember to keep cabinet air inlets and outlets
free of debris and weed growth to allow normal ventilation. If size and appearance of any surface boil has decreased from initial installation,
perform one or both of the following:
GENERAL CABINET CLEANING
1. Disconnect unit from electrical supply
2. Use a 7/16" wrench to unscrew the bolts and remove the cabinet lid
3. Using a portable vacuum or rag, remove debris, grass clippings and dirt from inside cabinet
4. Remove anything blocking the cabinet intake vents or exhaust vents
On the inside of the cabinet lid or the outside back cover of this Owner’s Manual, you will find a Vertex parts list that provides you the necessary
parts information for ordering replacement parts. Call Vertex at 844-432-4303 with your 4 digit system warranty number or serial number off of
the silver ETL sticker, located inside the cabinet. Vertex can also supply you with the necessary replacement parts information.
IMPORTANT! AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT
Air filter replacement should be done at least 4 times per year or every 3 months when system is running. A dirty filter reduces air flow
and shortens the life of the compressor. Unscrew the old filter, discard, and screw on the new filter.
PISTON CUP REPLACEMENT
Under normal year-round, continuous use, the compressor piston cups typically last 12-36 months depending upon the environmental
conditions. As the piston cups wear out, you’ll notice a drop in air flow (despite air filter replacement) resulting in smaller surface boils.
