MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The frequency of your maintenance requirements depends upon the number of hours of operation and upon variances in your product output. For a single-shift operation, without special problems, the frequency recommended below should suffice. You should set your own schedule based on your experience.
1. WEEKLY
Visually inspect the filter inside and outside, its controls and their operation.
At time of such inspection, note and correct any discrepancies from normal operation.
2. MONTHLY
Check the static pressure. Use a magnehelic gauge, manometer, or U-tube to measure and record the resistance. This will show the pattern of operation of your system. If pressure exceeds 1” W.C., insure the rotor is correctly turning and cleaning the screen.
For vacuum gate valve cleaning and maintenance, the gate assembly must be disassembled by removing the nuts from the housing, removing the rubber seals and blow compressed air in the body.
Watch the air pressure gauge on the filter. Record the drop, in pressure during the blow down cycle. A normal pressure is from 100psi at the and no lower than 60 psi after 10 seconds. Any less will not reliably clean the screen.
3. QUARTERLY
Test the Fenwall fire sensor accessed through the inspection door. Heat the Fenwell fire sensor with a heat lamp or other convenient source. When the audible/visual indicators actuate as well as the water solenoid remove heat source and allow Fenwell fire sensor to cool. The fire suppression system will reset after 60 seconds.
FILTER SCREEN MAINTENANCE
Chemicals present in the laundry uniforms, shop towels or other linen may eventually clog the filter screen. When this occurs, try the following:
1. Spray with an engine degreaser like GUNK. Allow soaking per the instructions for cleaning an auto engine. Spray clean with water.
2. Operate one dryer without a load to blow hot air through the filter to dry it.
Restart the dryer. Operation should be perfectly normal. It should not be necessary to replace the screen unless it is punctured.
