7. MAINTENANCE
Although the Ion-O-Vac is virtually maintenance free, a system of preventive
maintenance should be set up to insure maximum efficiency and service life paying
particular attention to the following points:
Vacuum Heads
1. Check the orifice and clean out as necessary. A small stiff brush or a blast of
high pressure air should be sufficient.
2. Remove the flex hose connection from the vacuum head assembly and check for
any sheets or material that might have been “sucked” inside the vacuum head.
3. The brushes should be cleaned or replaced regularly. The length of time between
cleaning and replacement will be dependent primarily on the nature of the
material being cleaned. Brush bristles should not be permitted to become stiff
with ink or coatings or become excessively dirty.
4. Check the brush setting in relation to the material being cleaned, refer to
Section 2 under brush settings.
5. On Mark IV vacuum heads with a rotary brush, remove side plate and check the
doctor blade to insure that it is adjusted correctly. It should engage the rotary
brush by 1/32” to 1/16”.
6. Check all mounting bolts and tighten as necessary.
Static Bars
For maximum efficiency, it is essential that the ionizing points located on the inner
bar be kept clean. If metal filings or material fragments fall into the static bars, they
can short circuit that section of the bar and make it inoperative until the particles are
removed. Periodic use of a soft brush or compressed air will prevent the points from
accumulating hardened balls of lint, grease and other foreign matter that reduce their
sharpness and decrease efficiency.
1. Turn off line power to the power supply before cleaning, removing static bars
from the vacuum heads or machine or before breaking any ground connections.
2. Remove loose particles with compressed air.
3. To remove built-up deposits, press a soft pencil eraser down on the emitter
point. Twist the pencil slightly and remove.
4. If particles cannot be dislodged with air or soft pencil erasers, remove the bar,
turn the bar face down and tap it. Mount the bar back in position and tighten.
