6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The information contained in this section
has been compiled from years’ worth of
information gathered from the field. It
contains symptoms and usual causes for
the most common types of problems that
may occur. All available data concerning
the trouble should be systematically ana-
lyzed before undertaking any repairs or
component replacement.
A visual inspection is worth performing
for almost all problems and may avoid
unnecessary additional damage to the
machine. The procedures that can be
performed in the least amount of time
and with the least amount of removal or
disassembly of parts should be per-
formed first. Adherence to a routine
maintenance regimen will minimize the
occurrence of many common problems.
Refer to
Section 5.3, Maintenance
Schedule Table
for a typical mainte-
nance regimen program.
Although Vanair
®
strives to anticipate sit-
uations that may occur during the opera-
tion life of the machine package, the
Troubleshooting Guide
may not cover
all possible situations. Be aware that
additional troubleshooting information
may be found in other sources such as
the Engine Owner’s Manual. Should the
situation remain unresolved after
exhausting available sources, contact
your local dealer or the Vanair Service
Department.
WARNING
DO NOT operate any of the Air N Arc 150
Series machine’s functions if there is a
known unsafe condition. Disable the
equipment by disconnecting it from its
power source. Install a lock-out tag to
identify the equipment as inoperable to
other personnel to prevent accidental
application.
WARNING
Before starting, performing maintenance,
or replacing parts, relieve the entire
system pressure by opening the air tank
drain valve, which will vent all pressure
to the atmosphere.
