Keeping your high-powered 40,000 CFM dust collector operating smoothly requires a dedicated approach to daily inspection. Here’s a quick rundown of crucial checks to get you started:
- Engine Compartment: Refer to your user manual for standard operating procedures (SOPs). At the beginning of each day, check engine oil levels, battery voltage, and radiator coolant. Don’t forget to verify the service schedule and ensure timely maintenance, either by your team or through BlastOne’s service department.
- Twin Disc Unit & Fan Drive: While the engine hood should be closed during operation, perform visual inspections as needed. Look for leaks around the diesel tank, filter housings, and hoses. The twin disc unit, essentially a clutch, connects the engine to the drive belt for the fan. Ensure the belts are properly tensioned and free of damage, all while maintaining a safe distance with the guarded enclosure.
These initial checks establish a solid foundation for optimal performance and help prevent unexpected downtime. Remember, if you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact BlastOne’s support team for troubleshooting assistance.
