4.8 Supplies & Manifold Maintenance
In accordance with the Routine Maintenance Schedule – Section 4.1, periodically it is
necessary to check all electrical connections at the Supplies. Any loose cables / connections
should be tightened. Also, as the supplies will be moved around frequently, all cables and
connections should be checked for wear / damage and replaced when necessary.
The transfer of air and current to the conductors is achieved at a Power / Air Manifold. The
conductors are rated at 500 Amps @ 100% Duty Cycle. These connections and cables should
also be checked regularly and cleaned and replaced as necessary. Below is a guide to
separating the Manifold in order to carry out the Manifold Maintenance procedure.
The Manifold Block Cover can now be pulled away to reveal the Manifold Block Body and all power connections.
Using a 3mm Hex Key remove the 2 x screws on the Pistol
side of the Manifold.
Separate the Manifold Block End Cap from the Manifold Block
Cover by pulling away. Then unscrew the 2 x screws on the
opposite side.
The various fittings should now be checked for tightness using an appropriate adjustable spanner. The above images highlight the positions
of these fittings. They should also be checked for damage and if necessary be replaced.
