Operation
Operator’s Manual 2009 Rev B p/n 2009
Care must be taken so as not to overload or
overheat the blower during this procedure.
1. Isolate the blower from the moist system
piping, allowing the blower to intake
atmospheric air. Operate the blower under a
slight load, allowing the blower to heat within
safe limits. The heat generated by the blower
will quickly evaporate residual moisture.
2. For carpet cleaning applications, after the work
is completed, simply allow the blower to run
3 – 5 minutes with the suction hose and wand
attached. The suction hose and wand will
provide enough load to the blower to evaporate
the moisture quickly.
3. For extended shutdown, inject a small amount
of a light lubricating oil such as 3-in-One
®
or a
spray lubricant such as WD-40
®
into the inlet
of the blower just before shutdown
(3-in-One
and WD-40 are registered trademarks of
WD-40 Company)
. The lubricant will provide
an excellent protective coating on the internal
surfaces. If using a spray lubricant, take care
to prevent the applicator tube from getting
sucked into the blower. The applicator tube will
damage the blower, likely to a degree where
repair would be required.
4. If the blower is being taken out of commission
for an extended period of time,
see Long-
Term Storage on page 31
.
