Routine Maintenance
The following items need to be periodically inspected and maintained to keep your sander in good working condition.
Wheels
Periodically remove the debris from the truck and caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded surface. Lubricate truck mechanism every 25 hours of use. The machine is equipped with lubrication fittings and are located on shaft supporting mechanism.
Dust Bag
Remove the dust bag from the machine and shake it thoroughly to remove the sanding dust from the dust bag. Turn the dust bag inside out and machine wash in cold water to prevent pore blockage and loss of dust recovery.
Drive Belt
Periodically check the drive belt tension.
Bearings
Periodically check the bearings for wear or damage according to the following schedule:
Idler pulley | after 1st 1500 hrs. |
Fan shaft | after 1st 2500 hrs. |
Arbor shaft | after 1st 5000 hrs. |
