8. MAINTENANCE
8.1 GENERAL
The Hurricane Cable Blowing Machine has been designed to give reliable, trouble free service over long
periods. The machine requires no sophisticated maintenance procedures, simple common - sense checks
and precautions are all that are needed.
The main source of breakdown and/or malfunction of a machine being used outdoors is contamination by
the elements, this contamination may be introduced into the machine in several different ways.
There may be mud, dust or other contaminants carried into the machine on the cable or duct (there may be
surface coatings of lubricants or other release type agents on the outer surfaces of the cable and duct, this
could build up on the belts and make them slip).
The machine may be set down on a muddy surface or be splashed by road going vehicles when it is being
used by the roadside.
Please Note: Due to their intended use, cord seals, cable seals, duct clamps, drive belts and cable drive
belts are considered consumable items and are therefore not covered by our warranty.
Airbox and changeable items (duct clamp inserts, cable seals and cable infeed and exit guides) need to be
kept clean, and build - up of moisture and dust prevented. Build - up of moisture and dust will prevent the
joint faces from mating and will prevent the housing seal from sealing. Cleaning can be done using any
traditional workshop cleaning agent.
• The machine should be returned to the manufacturer after every 1000 hours use or at intervals of 12
months (whichever is first) for a major service.
As a general rule, every time an interchangeable part is removed and replaced by a part of a different
size, shape etc. the part being removed should be thoroughly cleaned before being returned to its box.
Similarly, the cavity from which it was removed can also be cleaned prior to the assembly of the
replacement part.
