17.4 Cleaning the air filter

A contaminated air filter can contribute to problems starting the machine, loss
of performance during operation and shorten engine life.
Zipper Machines does not accept any liability for engine damage caused by fail-
ure to clean the air filter regularly.
To clean the air filter, first loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing, remove
the cover (foam filter element) and remove the air filter cassette (paper filter el-
ement). Clean both elements mechanically with a soft brush.
If only the air filter cassette is to be cleaned, blow a dry jet of compressed air from
the inside against the filter until all dust has been removed.

Checking and replacing V-belt and clutch

Warning of danger of detection/trapping in! Never attempt to check the V-belt while
the engine is running. Your hands could get caught between the V-belt and the clutch.
Serious hand injuries are the result.
If the vibratory power of the machine - regardless of the number of operating hours -
suddenly decreases or stops completely during normal operation, first of all check the
V-belt and clutch.
Loose or worn V-belts reduce power transmission efficiency, result in poor compaction performance
and shorten the service life of the belt itself. Therefore, always check the V-belt tension at the speci-
fied intervals.

1. Loosen V-belt cover screws (S) and remove them.
2. Check tension:
V-belt tension is OK if the belt yields approx. 10 to 15 mm un-
der pressure with thumb and index finger (see illustration on
the left). If the V-belt is too loose or too tight, adjust the ten-
sion!
3. Remount V-belt cover after having checked/corrected V-belt
tension!
