Vacuum Pump:
Belt Replacement Procedures for The RAGE:
1) Disconnect the negative battery cable
2) Remove hose from waste tank to vacuum
pump
3) Remove side hoods and top panel
4) Remove left and right hand belt guards
5) Loosen the hose clamp under the blower
6) Slide the blower back (away from engine)
7) Lower the blower plate approximately ½”
8) Tip the back of blower up
9) Remove all belts. Install new belts
10) Reverse procedures to install new belts
11) After belts have been installed, check for
proper tension and alignment. Do this using
a belt gauge. Set deflection to 1/8”; 10-12
lbs tension
12) Check pulleys for alignment using a
straight edge (example: ½” key stock).
Make sure pulley flange touches on 2
places on each pulley (4 total places)
13) Ensure that the blower plate is level (equal
distance from frame at four mounting
points)
14) Estimated time, 2 hours
VACUUM INLET FILTER
1. The vacuum inlet filter in the waste tank
should be inspected and cleaned daily.
!
When removing the vacuum inlet filter, grip the
plastic hexagon section of the filter. Grasping
filter by the screen will damage or destroy the
filter. Applying grease to the threads will allow
easier removal of filter when cleaning or
replacement is required.
DRIVE BELT AND PULLEYS
!
Ensure that when you re-torque the screws,
you use a clockwise pattern and continue until
the proper torque is achieved.
WASTE TANK STRAINER BASKET
The strainer basket located in the waste tank
should be emptied and cleaned on a daily basis.
Microban QGC cleaner is the recommended
product for cleaning and sanitizing the waste
tanks as well as other parts of the system.
CHECK VALVE STRAINER
(OUTLET)
Unscrew the screen and inspect the strainer after
the first week of operation. Remove any debris
present. Inspect again after 2 and 4 weeks.
Thereafter, inspect the strainer and screen at least
monthly. If a frequent build-up of debris is
noticed, inspect and clean more frequently.
CHEMICAL PUMP
The chemical pump should be rebuilt every 500
hours. This involves changing the diaphragm,
check valves, and inspecting the disk.
CHEMICAL METERING SYSTEM
Check and inspect the packing nut on the
chemical selector and metering valves every 200
hours. Keeping the valve packings properly
adjusted will prevent leaks and add to the overall
life of the valves.
