Fan Blades :
These should be cleaned by using the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner. Care should be taken not to
damage the blades.
•
Filter :
The filter can be removed completely for cleaning, but
generally provided this is cleaned frequently as detailed above, this
should not be necessary. Where removal of filter is required for
cleaning, the filter retaining wires can be removed, allowing the mesh
and the filter to be taken out (see Fig. 5).
•
General :
With the cover removed, opportunity should be taken to
remove any accumulations of dust from within the unit.
•
Bearings :
Fan and motor bearings should be given one or two (not
more) drops of low viscosity oil (e.g. sewing machine oil)
approximately every 12 months.
