Ordinary maintenance (by the user)
- Check the condition of the compressed air feed hoses and relative
connections;
- check the condition of the dust suction pipes;
- periodically replace the dust bag;
-drain the condensate from the pressure regulator collection tray (4B)
daily by rotating screw anticlockwise. The dust bag (28) is housed
in a container (13) located inside a compartment (14) .
Each morning, prior to starting the turbine, visually inspect the correct
positioning of the dust bag and the contents, which must not be mo-
re than 3/4 of the capacity of the bag itself.
Replacing the dust bag:
- Switch off the turbine completely by turn the knob (39) to OFF to
switch the shut down the machine.
- Open door (13) and the filter housing will lift automatically to free the
dust bag. Extract the container (28) and free the dust bag from the
plastic ring. Remove the bag containing the dust and seal it with a
clip. See the sequence in Fig. 7-8-9-10-11.
Hook the bag onto the plastic ring and fix it in position in its housing
(Fig. 7) using the elastic. Tilt the bag so that the pressure balancing
holes (Fig. 9) are free. Place the bag in the container ensuring that it
is well spread on the bottom of the container. Place all the compo-
nents inside the compartment and close the door (13-14).
The utmost care must be taken when carrying out these operations to
prevent dust from being allowed to enter the environment. Wear a
dust mask.
The sealed bag must be delivered to an authorised disposal centre.
Filter cleaning system
When the motor is switched on, in either automatic or manual mode,
the filter cleaning system will carry out a periodic filter cleaning cycle
of duration 3 seconds. This system allows the filter cartridge to ope-
rate efficiently. It is also possible to perform manual cleaning cycles
by pressing button (36).
Extraordinary maintenance (by the service centre)
Extraordinary maintenance and the repairs listed below must be car-
ried out by specialised electronic personnel authorised by RUPES Spa
Before gaining access to the internal parts of the turbine, disconnect
the unit from the mains electricity supply. Lock the eternal panel using
padlock to prevent accidental start-up. The key to the padlock must
be kept by the person responsible for factory safety. RUPES Spa. will
not be held responsible for direct or indirect damages resulting from
non-compliance with the requirements of this manual. Use the hour
meter feature as reference.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND SOLUTION
EFFECTS
The turbine will not start
The turbine will not start
in automatic
Poor suction capacity
Dust leaks from the turbine
discharge
Compressed air does not arrive at the distributor
Adjusting the regulator
change in the pressure gauge reading
Suction pump (19)
The unit does not require maintenance if used continuously for 8
hours a day. Replace the bearings every 20,000 hours. Check the
conditions of the electric cables every 6 months and verify that the
cooling grid is cleaned.
Hoses (23-24)
Check the tightness of the clips every 6 months.
Filter (24)
Check every 6 months. Replace every 2,500 hours.
Complete pneumatic plant
Check for leaks every 6 months.
Electronic panel (29)
Check the tightening of all clamps every 6 moths, clean all the inter-
nal components with dry and low pressure compressed air, and
check the working conditions of the thermal protection device.
Turbine structure
During the periodic inspections, check the tightness of all bolts, in
particular the four adjustable feet (Fig. 5).
