WARNING
8.1 REMOVE THE PREP-40 FROM SERVICE
Shutdown the dryer system per SECTION 7.
Close the ball valve on the afterfilter.
The pre-cooler air motor needs to be flushed to remove excessive
dirt, foreign particles, moisture and/or oil that accumulate in the air
motor during normal operation. Flushing helps to maintain proper
motor performance and extend service life.
Perform Flushing procedure, per SECTION 8.2, when Prep-40 is
to be idle for more than 5 days, or if it is to be placed in storage.
Use only Van Air Flushing Solvent (p/n 26-7157). DO NOT use
kerosene or ANY other combustible solvents to flush the air
motor.
8.2 FLUSHING PROCEDURE
Remove the pipe plug in the air supply line near the air motor.
Drain the exhaust muffler / oil filter.
Disconnect tubing line to air motor exhaust muffler / oil filter at the air
motor.
Spray flushing solvent (Van Air p/n 26-7157) into air motor through tee
for 5 to 10 seconds.
Rotate motor shaft/fan, by hand, for one minute in each direction.
Reinstall the plug in the tee and cover the exhaust port with a cloth.
You must wear eye protection for this step.
Restart the motor at a low pressure (approximately 10 PSIG) and run it
until there is no trace of solvent in the exhaust air.
Listen for changes in the sound of the motor. If the motor sounds
smooth, the Prep-40 is ready for storage. If the motor does not sound
like it is running smoothly, the motor will need to be serviced.
Install the exhaust muffler / oil filter tubing line to the air motor.
