TESTING THE UNIT FOR FLOW
CAUTION!
Belts cannot be tested until inner and outer flanges and flange bolt are installed to hold the
pulley firmly in place, (otherwise, belt and pulley will fly off of the spindle.)
A simple test can be done to see if the fan unit is working correctly.
1. Disconnect the hose and back flow preventer from the tool and place the Ecocutter
flat on a table or workbench.
2. Turn the unit on and hold a piece of paper over the exhaust port, the paper should
extend and stand up straight when unit is turned on.
3. If the test indicates a weak or no flow condition, the belts, pulleys, and fan
unit will need to be checked to find the cause of the problem.
