Venta Airwasher LW 44 - Manual (Page 14)

Servicing your Venta-Airwasher
Cleaning the gear
Do not submerse the gear in water. To clean any buildup of calcium or lime from the
gear “teeth”, brush with a soft bristled brush. The gear teeth should be pointed
toward the floor while brushing, otherwise deposits will fall into the gear and cause it
to malfunction.
Removal of gear and coupling
1 Switch the unit off (to ZERO position).
2 Unplug the power cord from the A/C outlet.
3 Remove the motor housing from the upper housing.
4 Remove the coupling from the gear by pushing the coupling down toward the fan and
away from the gear.
5 Pivot (turn) the gear 90 degrees so it is laying on its side.
6 Gently pull one of the two motor housing arms approximately 1/8 of an inch away from
the gear and remove the gear from the motor housing.
7 Remove the locking ring from the center shaft of the fan by prying it up using a small
screwdriver.
