End of Day (Shift) Servicing of the Vacuum Machine
Task Step Key Points
End of day
(shift) servicing.
1. Shutdown and if required
isolate the engine, using
battery isolator.
DANGER!!!
The machine drive engine must
be shut down. If required by your
worksite, switch off battery
isolator and lock it out prior to
performing any servicing tasks.
2. Clean the blower pre-
filters
The blower is protected by a cyclone pre-
filter and final cartridge filter.
3. Cleaning cyclone filter.
Remove the cover door & place to one
side. The chamber may have some
collected dust.
Sweep the dust out with a brush.
If this chamber has a lot of dust in it, the
suction work has been performed “too
dry”. Next time use more water.
Replace the cover door.
4. Cleaning filter cartridge.
Remove cover door & place to one side.
Remove the cartridge filter and at a
separate location either blow it clean with
compressed air (max pressure 100 kPa)
or wash it with a garden hose. Do not use
the water blaster.
If washed allow the filter to dry before
reinstalling.
NOTE
DO NOT bang filter cartridge on
ground to clean it, as it will
damage the filter and potentially
cause damage to the blower.
5. Reinstall filter cartridge.
When the filter cartridge is clean and dry,
reinstall into the chamber and replace the
cover door.
6. Refill the water tank.
For most work tasks the water tank has
sufficient quantity of water to last one
waste tank fill.
Refill the tank with water as required. Only
use clean water to fill the tank and do not
add any detergents etc.
Check and if necessary clean the water
filter.
7. Refill engine fuel tank.
For most work tasks the fuel tank has
enough fuel to last one day or shift.
Refill the fuel tank with the correct fuel at
the end of the working day.
8. Conduct a general
condition check.
Conduct a general condition check of the
machine looking for oil leaks, damaged
hoses, flat tyres etc.
