Drain Filter Cleaning
The first-defense for your low-pressure system. The Drain Filter needs constant cleaning. If clogged, the low-pressure system will be starved. Improper cleaning may bring more harm than good.
Used Abrasive Collection System
The Used Abrasive Collection System is central to the proper function of your WAZER. Not only does it help you get used abrasive out of the machine, it allows the machine to maintain the water level. This is a complicated system that will likely be the area you interact with most.
Some amount of regular preventative maintenance can help avoid major headaches down the line. If performance is degraded, the following procedures should help you identify the problem.
Tank Cleaning Cycle
To collect Used Abrasive, run the Tank Cleaning Cycle from the Setup & Maintenance menu of the Control Panel. This procedure will help prevent any clogs in the Filtration System. It is good practice to after every cut
Clearing the Filtration System
The Filtration System that keeps WAZER clean will occasionally become clogged or jammed with abrasive or air bubbles.
Tank Draining - Siphon Method
Sometimes the tank drain can get clogged with abrasive and requires siphon method draining, or you may just want to drain your tank in a hurry.
Venturi Clean Out
When one of the Venturi gets clogged, a serious mound of abrasive can form on top, and in some instances this can pack the pick-up filters to a point where Clearing the Filtration System can no longer clear the clog.
Rear Baffle Quick Check
If the tank over fills with abrasive or it has been a long time since the last full tank clean the rear baffle can become clogged with abrasive. This will mess with the water leveling features of the WAZER and can be baffling to debug. (sorry)
Abrasive Pickup Cleaning
If there is a lot of abrasive in the tank or the Wazer has been sitting for a long time this mode will loosen up the compacted abrasive by the abrasive pickups and the rear baffle
Preparing the Wazer After it Sits Idle for a Long Time
If the Wazer has been sitting for more than a few days, the heavy abrasive in the bottom of the tank can compact. The compacted abrasive is very difficult for the abrasive system to pick up and if it happens to cover the pickups then the system will not function. This guide will help you get your machine ready to cut again.
Full Tank Cleaning
There are many reasons you may want or need to fully clean out your tank. Fully cleaning out the tank gives you a chance to get your abrasive collection working at peak performance, saving you from having to clean out the tank as often.
Magnetic Drain Filter Cleaning
This is the first-defense for your low-pressure system. Magnets in the Magnetic Drain Filter traps iron particles in the tank water and prevent them from entering the Low Pressure Pumps. They need constant cleaning. If clogged, the low-pressure system will be starved. Improper cleaning may bring more harm than good.
