15.2 TANK REMOVAL (Ref.Fig.7).
- Lift the tank (ref.1) to detach it from its supports (ref.2) and
remove it from the side indicated by the arrow.
15.3 WORK SURFACE CLEANING
Always keep work surfaces clean. Residual dirt can impair
cutting precision.
15.4 GUIDE RAIL CLEANING
It is good practice to remove all traces of dirt from the guides.
15.5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF COOLING
CIRCUIT
- If water does not reach the blade stop the machine immediately
to avoid blade damage.
- After switching off the machine ensure that the water level is
sufficient.
-Check that there is water in the pump by unscrewing the
connector, and if necessary top up until water flows out (fig.10).
- WARNING. Before starting the panel saw for the
first time, or when starting it after long periods of
inactivity, fill the pump with water as described above.
- At the end of every shift, unscrew the suction hose filter and
clean it. Then, circulate some water through it placing inside a
bucket of clean water.
15.6 TENSIONING THE DRIVE BELT (fig. 8)
- Turn off the endothermic engine.
- Unscrew the 4 screws that lock the movable belt guard (ref. 1).
- Loosen the two screws (ref. 2) that clamp the water pump to
the bracket and move the pulley away so that it does not touch it.
- Loosen the 4 screws (ref. 3) that clamp the endothermic
engine to the blade support.
- Tension the belt using the nut (ref. 4): apply a force of about
F=14 lb. to the centre of the free section of the belt, the arrow
should be about f=1/4" in. (fig. 9).
- Tighten the screws on the endothermic engine, checking the
alignment of the engine pulley and the blade pulley
- Lower the water pump until the pulley touches the drive belt.
Tighten the two screws.
- Refit the guard and lock it using the 4 screws.
- To avoid shortening the life of the belt, the bearings
and the blade shaft, do not overtension the belt. Finally,
check the two pulleys are aligned.
15.7 DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
Repeat the operations described in section 15.6, replacing the
belt before tensioning it.
15.8 ENDOTHERMIC ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Read the Honda manual carefully... and follow their instructions.
Changing the oil (with the engine in horizontal position) and
cleaning the air filter frequently ensure a reliable and long lasting
engine.
When you may need Honda Engine Service or Warranty
Assistance take the machine to your local Honda power
equipment dealer, they will honour the Warranty throughout
America.
- It is always a good idea to check the oil level in the
engine cranckcase at the start of each working day.
Clean oil at the correct level markes for an engine that
will last and last.
15.9 REPAIRS
- Do not start the saw during repair work.
Only use genuine IMER spare parts and do not modify
them.
- If the guards are removed to carry out repairs,
they must be refitted properly when the repair work is
finished.
