Preventive maintenance
To guarantee lasting maximum dryer efficiency and reliability:
Z
a)
every 6 months or 4000 operating hours:
S clean the condenser fins;
S make sure compressor electrical absorption is within the
dataplate values;
Z
b)
every 12 months or 8000 operating hours --- further to
a):
S replace filter element of pre--- filter;
Z
c)
every 36 months or 24000 operating hours --- further to
a), and b):
