Routine Maintenance
The following items need to be periodically inspected and maintained to keep your sander in good working condition.
Sanding Chamber
Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent large accumulations of debris which could interfere with the performance of the dust recovery system.
Wheels
Periodically remove the debris from the truck and caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded surface.
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 belts for broken cogs or frayed edges. Frayed edges may indicate poor tracking. Realign effected belt.
Bearings
Periodically check the bearings for wear or damage according to the following schedule.
