These items should be cleaned approximately every six months under normal environmental
conditions. Equipment in very dusty or otherwise contaminated areas may require more
frequent maintenance.
7.3.1. BLOWER
The blower impeller and motor should be cleaned to prevent build-up of contaminant on both
the blower impeller surfaces and on the blower motor. Proper operation of the lamp is
dependent on providing adequate cooling air flow. A dirty blower may not provide proper
air flow, causing the lamp and lamphouse to operate at temperatures that are higher than
intended.
1. Clean loose dirt from blower impeller with vacuum cleaner.
2. Use brush with hot water and suitable detergent to remove dirt that cannot be vacuumed
off.
When cleaning the impeller, be careful not to bend the blades or to loosen the
balancing weights.
3. Every six months, lubricate blower motor by applying three to four drops of light
machine oil to oil holes in motor housing.
7.3.2. IGNITER
Periodically clean the high voltage terminal and insulator to prevent accumulation of dust or
dirt.
7.3.3. AIR F LOW I NTERLOCKS
Periodically check and, if necessary, clean the air flow interlock vanes to remove
accumulated dirt.
7.4. ALIGNING LAMPHOUSE WITHOUT ALIGNMENT TOOLS
1. Inspect reflector and lens and clean if necessary.
2. Inspect lamp for dirt or fingerprints. Clean if required.
3. Center lamp adjustments in rear of lamphouse to midpoint of their range.
4. Install lamp in lamphouse.
5. Use ruler to verify that positive end of lamp is centered in reflector from top to bottom
and side to side. If not centered, adjust to center position by adjusting the front lamp
support.
6. For best results: With ruler, verify that positive end of lamp is centered left to right in
reflector within
1
/16 in. If not centered, adjust front lamp support to center lamp.
