5.3 Gun Maintenance
GENERAL CLEANING
Failure to disconnect the
IR-550/ED-7-KIT
from the power source before performing
maintenance may result in injury.
Front Filter and Outer Filter Face Cleaning
Heat from the lamp is directed by the reflectors and is concentrated in the
heating zone in the front reflector.
Contamination of the reflectors or the filter will decrease the efficiently of the tool.
Therefore, they should be periodically inspected for cleanliness. Normally, only the
front reflector and the outer face of the lamp filter will need cleaning. The rear
reflector and inner face of the lamp filter are protected from the work area, so
contamination is less likely. Contaminated surfaces should be cleaned with a soft
cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning Fan and Housing
Since the lamp draws large quantities of air through the tool, dirt and lint may
accumulate in the fan area and gradually restrict the air flow. Therefore, this part of
the tool should be inspected occasionally and cleaned, when necessary with a soft
brush. To facilitate cleaning, simply remove the mounting screws located on the
rear of the fan cover.
