6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The information contained in this section has
been compiled from years’ worth of informa-
tion gathered from the field. It contains symp-
toms and usual causes for the most common
types of problems that may occur. All avail-
able data concerning the trouble should be
systematically analyzed before undertaking
any repairs or component replacement.
A visual inspection is worth performing for
almost all problems and may avoid unneces-
sary additional damage to the machine. The
procedures which can be performed in the
least amount of time and with the least
amount of removal or disassembly of parts,
should be performed first. Adherence to a
routine maintenance regimen will minimize
the occurrence of many common problems.
Refer to
Section 5.3, Maintenance Sched-
ule Table
for a typical maintenance regimen
program.
Although Vanair
®
strives to anticipate situa-
tions that may occur during the operation life
of the machine package, the
Troubleshoot-
ing Guide
may not cover all possible situa-
tions. Be aware that additional
troubleshooting information may be found in
other sources such as the Engine Owner’s
Manual. Should the situation remain unre-
solved after exhausting available sources,
contact your local dealer or the Vanair Ser-
vice Department.
WARNING
DO NOT operate any of the Air N Arc 150
Series machine’s functions if there is a
known unsafe condition. Disable the
equipment by disconnecting it from its
power source. Install a lock-out tag to
identify the equipment as inoperable to
other personnel to prevent accidental
application.
WARNING
Before starting, performing maintenance,
or replacing parts, relieve the entire
system pressure by opening the air tank
drain valve, which will vent all pressure
to the atmosphere.
