Wanderhose Adjustment
Adjustment
The balance of the Wanderhose can be adjusted. This is done by tightening or slackening
the nuts (A) on the two spring jack studs and should only be done with the extension hose
assembly attached.
Adjustment is correct when the Wanderhose boom tends to rise when released and only a
small effort is required to lower it. When the Wanderhose without the extension assembly is
stowed, this adjustment should give effective capacity in the stowage hook.
Filter Screens and Roof Duct
Filter Screen Removal and Refit
The body filter screens and roof duct must be kept clean, otherwise suction performance can be
affected. The screens should be lowered when cleaning.
Ensure the release handle (A) is held while lowering:-
Pushing the release handle (A), unlocks the screen(s) and enables them to be lowered against the
panel. If fitted disconnect the air pipe to the mesh shaker unit.
The screens can now be lifted out of the hooks (B) for thorough cleaning.
With the screens removed and the body raised (resting on its safety prop), wash out all debris from
the roof duct which runs along the top of the body, Care should be taken not to get excessive water
in the fan case.
When refitting a screen, ensure a close fit to the body is maintained to prevent debris from entering
the fan.
Adjustment:-
The mesh handle (A) should be located in the latches (D) and pushed up so the retaining face
mates with the body. The latches (D) should also be pushed up on the slotted brackets until they
touch the handle and then tighten the four M8 screws (C).
CAUTION
Safety platform/gantry to be used for this procedure
CAUTION
Ensure the screen is lowered slowly. If the mesh is allowed to ‘free fall’ and bounce
off of the baffle, there is a possibility of it being dislodged from the hinge point.
