Windsor A VI. Troubleshooting Guide - Separator, Replacement Parts, Machine Exterior, Problem

Replacing the Target Plate

The target plate, Patent No. 4,874,410, at the bottom of the separator is able to absorb a great deal of impact and abrasion damage as it diverts solid litter into the dirt can. Because it will eventually wear out, provisions have been made for easy replacement:

1.Lower the dirt can and wheel it out of the way.

2.Swing the target plate to a horizontal position and release it from its supporting hooks.

3.Reverse the procedure in Step 2 to install a new plate.

5. Replacement Parts

Provide full information about your Industravac equipment, including the serial number and catalog number, when ordering parts. When ordering replacement filter bags, be sure to provide the bag part number. Replacement bags are supplied in the following quantities: A Series–10 bags, B Series–19, C Series–12, D Series–24, and V Series–10. For other vacuum producer and separator parts, refer to the illustrations on pages 5, 6, and 7 for the names of needed items. Touch-up paint is also available from Spencer.

4. Machine Exterior

The nature of its work exposes the Industravac unit to dust and dirt which should be periodically removed by washing the exterior with soap and water. Disconnect the electrical power before any cleaning procedure; do not spray water directly on the motor, electrical connections or in the vacuum producer outlet.

PROBLEM	Possible Cause		Corrective Action
AIR LEAKS	•	Worn or poorly fitting seals.	Check access door and dirt can seals, reposition or replace if
			necessary.
	•	Holes worn in separator by abrasive materials.	Check target plate, replace if worn; repair holes.
	•	Leaks.	See above.

LOW VACUUM/ NO VACUUM

• Separator outlet blocked.	Check dirt can, empty if more than 3/4 full. Make sure filter bags
	are not blocking separator outlet. Check outlet duct.

•	Dirt can liner sucked up against filter bag inlet.	Inspect equalizing line for holes and clean line to ensure proper
		manifold suction under dirt can to keep liner in place.
•	Machine rotating backward.	Reverse motor leads.
•	Filter bags clogged.	Shake bags more frequently (only when system is shut down).

DIRT PASSING THROUGH SYSTEM

•	Loose bag(s).	Reinstall bags according to instructions on page 9.
•	Holes in bags.	Replace worn bags, eliminate cause if bags wear out prematurely
		(e.g., wrong filter bag material, dirt can not emptied often enough).

•	Leaks.	See Air Leaks, page 9.
•	Incorrect filter bag material.	Consult Spencer Service Dept. with information on material
		handled.
