Maintenance
Preventative maintenance will provide for many years of trouble-free use.
Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior of the machine weekly by wiping with a rag and/or blowing with
compressed air; this will help maintain the longevity of the mechanical components in addition to the
system’s finish. The machine has been designed to work in a dusty environment. However, without
periodic cleaning and maintenance, the performance of the machine will decline potentially leading to
failure.
Cords
Your 12 gauge power cords are subject to considerable wear and tear during normal operation. Inspect
all cords prior to use to ensure safe operation. If any damage is observed, be sure to repair or replace
before operating the machine to avoid personal injury. Note: Do not pull on power cords while
plugged into machine as damage may occur.
Airlock and Seals
The airlock assembly is one the most important items to keep in good condition. Foreign objects in the
airlock can cause damage and reduce the machine’s production. Seal failure is the most common
airlock assembly failure. Seal failure prevents the airlock from holding the proper pressure. Seal
failure will reduce the machine’s production. A machine with seal failure will have air blow out of the
airlock into the hopper, reducing the amount of air exiting the machine outlet. It is recommended to
visually inspected seals each week to ensure proper running condition. Replace airlock seals if a cut or
tear is evident. Airlock seals should be replaced every 300 hours of operation, or once per year. Visit
www.inteccorp.com or contact Intec for replacement instructions.
Chain
Clean and lubricate the chain once per year. Use a dry lubricant when lubricating the chain; do not use
oil as oil will attract foreign particles like dust to chain. If the machine is often used in dusty conditions,
then clean and lubricate the chain more frequently than once per year.
Blower Filters
The blower’s air intake and fan motor filters should be cleaned every use to avoid potential blower
motor overheating. Simply slide filter from holder, use compressed air or knock filter on a hard surface
to remove contaminants, and replace filter in the appropriate holder on machine.
