CLEANING THE SUCTION FAN AND SCREENS
1. BEFORE WORKING ON THE MACHINE POSITION IT ON FIRM, LEVEL GROUND,
APPLY HANDBRAKE AND, IF REQUIRED, RAISE THE HOPPER, STOP ENGINE & REMOVE
IGNITION KEY.
2. ALWAYS USE THE HOPPER PROP TO SUPPORT A RAISED HOPPER.
3. THE FAN IS AN EXTREMELY HEAVY ROTATING MASS. NEVER ATTEMPT TO SLOW OR
STOP ITS ROTATION BY USING THE HANDS OR BY INSERTING ANY ITEM INTO THE
FAN CHAMBER, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS.
4. BEFORE REMOVING THE SUCTION FAN ACCESS PANELS, ENSURE THAT THE ENGINE
IS OFF AND THAT THE IGNITION KEY HAS BEEN REMOVED.
5. ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE EYE & HAND PROTECTION WHEN USING THE HAND
LANCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
1.
Remove the outer inspection cover from the hopper and the inner
cover from the fan housing to expose the fan (Refer to Fig. 10).
It is advisable to lower the hopper screens to allow displaced material, from the
fan cleaning process, to drop into the hopper.
It will be necessary to prevent the fan from rotating while it is being cleaned.
2.
Using the special scraper, thoroughly clean all accessible parts of
the fan.
3.
A steam-cleaner or high-pressure water from a remote source will
greatly assist in cleaning severely contaminated fans.
4.
Clean the screens using the scraper and, where necessary, steam
or high-pressure water.

Start the suction fan. Engine speed will automatically increase to
1600 rpm.

Direct additional water onto the screens below the fan inlet cone
until only clean water is expelled from the fan casing.
