Cleaning the bundle
Cleanliness is a crucial factor affecting the equipment's
performance and length of life. From time to time, check the
finned bundle for blockages, cleaning as often as local
conditions make necessary.
Normal cleaning is by means of a jet of compressed air
directed parallel to the fins.
In instances of substantial blockage by greasy dirt, it is
possible to clean using water with a detergent compatible with
the materials. It is also possible to use a high pressure steam
cleaner. Cleaning should be followed by thorough rinsing with
copious amounts of clean water.
Do not use a cleaner projecting liquid at high pressure.
Using only those methods recommended, clean carefully so
as not to damage the finned surface. When necessary, reset
the fins using a comb gauge suited to the fin spacing.
Motor maintenance
Motors are generally fitted with bearings which do not
require specific maintenance. Where motors are fitted with
greasers (high power), follow the manufacturer's motor
maintenance recommendations.
So as not to shorten motor life, we recommend that a
maximum of 15 stop/start cycles per hour is not exceeded.
Where a motor is replaced, unblock the water drain holes
located at the lowest point (the others remain closed).
Destruction
Separate the unit from its energy sources.
Empty the unit, respecting the environmental standards.
Use the original lifting eyes.
If lift point markers (attachment points, sling marks, weight) have disappeared, obtain this information from your CIAT
representative.

ELECTROCUTION
Removable cover headers
These headers have a seal which must be changed
before reassembling.
To change seals, proceed as follows :
1 - Before opening the covers ensure that the fluid
circulation has fully stopped for sufficient time to allow it
to cool and the pressure to drop.
2 - Empty the circuit completely using the drains located on the
lower part of the headers.
3 - Remove the covers, then thoroughly clean the seal seats
without scratching the metal. Take care not to allow
contamination to enter the headers during the dismantling
period.
4 - Put the new seals in place without using either
lubricant or adhesive.
5 - After replacing the covers, the procedure for tightening the
seal uniformly is as shown below, in two stages: approach and
locking.

Maintenance intervals
Tighten the electrical connections
Check the cladding for corrosion and the
presence of stickers relating to safety
(1) The frequency should be adapted to environmental
conditions.
(2) If the operation requires casing to be dismantled, call in an
approved CIAT representative.
