Maintenance Schedule
WAZER tracks the number of hours it has been running in a menu that is
located in Setup and Maintenance>Total Cut Time. This will help you take out the guess work on
how many hours you have put through your machine and whether or not a particular servicing is
needed.
If you do not abide by the regular maintenance procedures and schedule, the warranty and
support for your WAZER will be void.

Flipping/Swapping the Cut Bed & Inspecting the Tank Pierce Plate
WAZER’s Cut Bed is intended to be a consumable, which means it will need to be replaced every so
often.
It’s also reversible:
if your current Cut Bed is worn, but you haven’t yet used the bottom side,
then you can flip the Cut Bed rather than replacing it. If you have already used both sides, then you
will need to acquire a new Cut Bed. In either case, the series of steps to replace or flip over your Cut
Bed is the same.
To avoid cuts and possible infection, wear waterproof protective gloves and
handle all pieces carefully.
VIDEO
•
Turn off WAZER and push the Nozzle to the
back of the machine.
•
Using the provided Cut Bed Installation Tool in
the Spare Parts bag, remove the four Cut Bed
Bolts that hold the Cut Bed to the Tank. These
Cut Bed Bolts are below the water line, so if
you just got done cutting, they may be a bit
difficult to see with the murky water.
•
A large amount of abrasive and water will leak
out of the Cut Bed. This will continue for some
time after removal, so we suggest you acquire
a waterproof container (a bin or industrial
garbage bag) large enough to hold the Cut
Bed. Lift the Cut Bed out of the Tank and into
the container.
•
Flip the Cut Bed upside down, so the side you
were just cutting on is facing away from you.
•
Remove the brackets that are attached to the
bottom of the Cut Bed.
•
If this side of the Cut Bed is new, simply flip
the Cut Bed over so the worn side is now
facing you. If both sides of the Cut Bed are
worn, dispose of it and grab a new one.
•
Reattach the aluminum brackets onto the
bottom of the Cut Bed.
•
Do a thorough Tank cleaning while the Cut
Bed is removed.
If you have been running long
Cuts, or if you have not been running additional
Tank Cleaning cycles after Cuts, there may be
some Used Abrasive buildup in the bottom of
the Tank.
•
Take this opportunity to scoop out the
excess Abrasive from the bottom of the
Tank.
•
Pour clean water over the Drain Filters beneath
the Rear Tank Cover to flush out excess
Abrasive. This will help the Tank drain more
efficiently while cutting.
•
Do a full inspection of the
aluminum Tank Pierce Plate at the bottom of
the Tank before replacing the Cut Bed.
While
the Cut Bed is removed, and once all excess
Used Abrasive has been cleared, inspect
the Tank Pierce Plate at the bottom of the
Tank for damage. Contact WAZER Customer
Support for a replacement if you see deep
marks – remember that all the water in
WAZER will drain out if this Tank Pierce Plate is
punctured.
•
Check to make sure the Cut Bed Posts have
Cut Bed Springs around their top. If they do
not, they may have fallen off the Cut Bed Posts
during disassembly, so you may need to dig
around in the Tank for them.
•
Place the four Cut Bed Bolts in through the
aluminum Cut Bed Brackets.
•
Lower the Cut Bed into the Tank, making sure
to align the Cut Bed Bolts with the Cut Bed
Springs, and consequently with the Cut Bed
Posts.
•
Tighten the Cut Bed Bolts down until you feel
resistance from the Cut Bed Springs, then turn
each bolt one more full turn.
When tightening Cut Bed Bolts, if at any point
you feel an abnormal amount of resistance,
please stop, back the Cut Bed Bolts out
and attempt to clean out the threads. It is
likely that abrasive has been caught and is
preventing you from tightening the Cut Bed
Bolt.
•
You are now ready to level your Cut Bed. To
complete the Cut Bed replacement, you must
now perform the leveling procedure found in
Section 7: Maintenance > Misc Procedures>
Leveling the Cut Bed.
•
If this is your first service, perform the Pump
Box Oil Change.
