Routine Maintenance

32

Maintenance

NOTE: Leave loading door open at end of
each complete cycle to allow moisture to
evaporate. Unload the machine promptly
after each completed cycle to prevent
moisture build up.

Weekly

1. Check the machine for leaks.

a.
Start an unloaded cycle to fill the

machine.


b. Verify that door and door gasket do

not leak.

c. Verify that the drain valve is

operating. If water does not leak out
during the prewash segment, drain
valve is closed and functioning
properly.

2. Clean the AC drive box air filters.

a. Snap off the external plastic cover

which contains the filter. Remove the

foam filter from the cover.

b.
Wash the filter in a mild soap

solution or vacuum it clean.

Monthly

NOTE: Disconnect power to the machine at
its source before performing the monthly
maintenance procedures.

1. Each month or after every 200 hours of
operation, lubricate bearing and seals. See
instructions on the machine.
a. Use a premium grade lithium based

#2 grease. Never mix two types of
grease, such as petroleum and
silicone.


b. Pump the grease gun slowly,

permitting only the following number
of strokes:
1. Bearing grease fitting, 2 strokes
2. Seal grease fitting, 1 stroke.

Do not pump the grease gun if grease
comes out of the bearing housing.
This can result in over lubrication, causing
damage to bearings and seals.

2. If the machine is provided with
automatic lubricators, check that they are
injecting grease. Normally they last for
approximately one year. Mark new
lubricators with installation date

3. Clean the AC drive fins:
a. Remove the AC drive box cover.
b. Blow the fins clean using compressed

air at a pressure of 60-90 psi

( 4-6 Bar) or by using canned

compressed air. Use care to avoid

damaging cooling fan or other

components.

NOTE: No amount of visible foreign matter
should be allowed to accumulate on fins or
the finger guard.

4. Use the following procedures to
determine if V-belts require replacement or
adjustment. Call a qualified service
technician in either case.

a. Check V-belts for uneven wear and

frayed edges.
