8.2 Periodic and Preventive Maintenance
The following preventive measures will help ensure long term operation of your Branson
2000Xc Series equipment.
8.2.1 Periodically Clean the Equipment
Periodically disconnect the unit from power, remove the cover and vacuum out any
accumulated dust and debris. Remove material adhering to the fan blades and motor,
transistors, heat sinks, transformers, circuit boards, cooling intake vents, and exhaust
ports. Filters can be added to the power supply cooling fans for dusty environments.
Periodically disconnect the airline from the air supply, open the air filter and clean the
element and bowl with mild soap and water. External covers may be cleaned with a damp
sponge or cloth using a solution of mild soap and water. Do not allow cleaning solution to
enter the unit. Exposed steel surfaces, such as handles, hardware and the main column
may require a very light film of oil, such as WD-40, to prevent rust in areas of high
humidity.
DANGER
Use LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) lockable plug cover over line cord plug
during any maintenance.
DANGER
When performing maintenance on the welder, make sure that no
other automated systems are active.
NOTICE
When it is necessary to clean the touchscreen, wipe gently with a soft
cloth dampened with a mild detergent or Windex. Give a final wipe to
the entire screen with the soft damp cloth. Under no circumstances
should you use solvents or ammonia to clean the screen. Do not use
excessive solution to avoid dripping or seeping into the power supply.
