SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
Periodic simple maintenance is required to keep the system operating properly. System
maintenance is controlled by internal cut cycle counters, that will advise the operator when
maintenance is recommended. Once the predetermined cut cycles are reached operator
intervention is required to perform maintenance and reset the counters.
3.1
Maintenance Warnings:
A)
The Sediment Tank Maintenance Counter will provide a maintenance
warning at 1000 cut cycles. The system will continue to operate, but
maintenance is recommended before the next shift. The Touch-Screen
Display will indicate a “Sediment Tank Full” message when this occurs.
B)
After the warning screen is activated, the system will count-down an
additional 500 cut cycles before the system will automatically shut down. It is
recommended that sediment tank maintenance be completed between shifts,
prior to the system forcing a shutdown.
C)
The Filter Maintenance Counter will provide a maintenance warning to
replace the pleated filter (see below) at 5000 cut cycles. As with the Sediment
Tank, the system will continue to operate, but maintenance is recommended
before the next shift. The Touch-Screen Display will indicate a “Filter
Replacement Required” message when this occurs.
D)
After the warning screen is activated, the system will count-down an
additional 500 cut cycles before the system automatically shuts down at the
mandatory 5500 cut cycle limit. As before, it is recommended that a filter
replacement is completed between shifts, prior to the system forcing a
shutdown.
3.2
Reset Maintenance Counters:
If performed correctly, the Sediment Tank and Filter procedures (refer to sections 3.5
& 3.6 below), will automatically reset their respective counters. However, if the
procedures are performed incorrectly, the counters will not be reset and the system
will still be disabled. Both the Sediment Tank and Filter counters can be reset in
Advanced Mode (see Appendix 1, Section 1.4 for reset instructions). It is not
recommended that a counter be defeated by resetting it without servicing the system,
and such activity will void the system warranty.
