al Maintenance Procedure
This Section contains booth maintenance procedures and techniques which will extend the life of your
RTT
powder booth and its components and make booth operation a smooth, routine occurrence.
7.1 General Instruction
Operational maintenance and repair instructions for the various mechanical components of your
RTT
powder
booth are described in the manufactures data incorporated in this manual. Please review the applicable safety
precautions before performing any maintenance work on the booth’s components. SAFETY FIRST.
7.2 Fan & Motor
Periodically check the fan belts for proper tension and signs of wear. (If equipped, normally on PB Style Booth
only).
If the booth fails to function properly during normal operation, or if a component fails to come on line during
booth start-up, then troubleshooting will be required to identify the problem. It is necessary for the person
troubleshooting the booth be familiar with the control system logic.
A good preventative maintenance program will keep your booth on line and reduce unnecessary downtime.
The manufactures data sheets included in this manual contain specific information regarding repair of their
components.
7.3 Routine Fan Maintenance
Do not attempt to do any maintenance on a fan unless the electrical supply is properly disconnected. If the
powder booth is not supplied with a control panel with a disconnect then it will be necessary to pull the fuses at
the control panel and lock control panel to assure power can not be turned on during maintenance or repairs.
Under normal circumstances, handling clean air, the system will require cleaning about once a year. However,
the fan and all components should be checked in regular maintenance intervals as required by usage.
A regular inspection of the rotating assembly should be made to detect any indication of weakening of the fan
and motor because of corrosion, erosion or metal fatigue.
