After replacing the components, carry out a functional check.
Functional check: after cleaning, disinfecting or changing components check operation of the system. Inspect all essential components for
damage or dirt and, if required, replace these with original spare parts. If the red pennant of the airflow indicator shows insufficient air in
the air hood, although the pressure is correctly adjusted, this could indicate that a blockage has occurred in the filter system, the
compressed air hose, coupling or silencer. During this check, hold the air hood in the vertical (normal working) position.
Checking hose system for leakages: air supply hose and couplings, manual testing with pulling force. Connect the air hood to the
compressed air filter system and adjust the supply pressure; the filter system and air supply hose should not give audible leaks.
For COMMANDER VORTEX, as a result of intensive use and pollution of the compressed air system, it is possible that after some time,
the sound absorbers get blocked with oil or dirt. These can be replaced. See chapter Spare parts. To remove the filters, unscrew them
with a suitable screwdriver.
5. MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY
Clearance to start use:
Prior to use:
After use:
Every 6 months:
Usage duration of filters
Fluids will be drained continuously by the filter element. Pressure loss is caused by particles on the surface and in the microporous medium
of the filter element. It is advisable to renew the filters when a pressure difference of 0.6 bar occurs. For safety reasons, the activated-
carbon filter should be renewed at least every 6 months, or at the same time as the coarse filter.
6. STORAGE
After use and cleaning, store the entire system in a cool, dry and dark location. Take measures to prevent components of the system
coming into contact with oils, grease, solvents, acids or other chemicals.
