Short-Term Maintenance Procedures

Interval: 20-100 hours
(200 – 2,000 lbs. of abrasive)

Flipping or Swapping the Cut Bed and Inspecting the Tank Pierce Plate

WAZER’s Cut Bed is intended to be a consumable, which means it will need to be flipped or replaced every so often.

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.

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

Checking the Abrasive Rate

When WAZER isn’t cutting and it’s NOT an Abrasive Clog.

Inspecting the High-Pressure O-Rings

The High-Pressure Hoses need to be checked for wear every 20–50 hours. If you do not properly identify wear in the High-Pressure O-Rings, they can become damaged and lead to a severe leak.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

All the water going into the system is filtered at the water inlet of the pump. Over time, this can accumulate debris and sediment commonly found in most water mains. If you have particularly old plumbing, you may need to clean your filter more often.

Checking and Resetting the Abrasive Rate

This guide teaches you how to adjust and reset the abrasive flow rate to maintain best cutting quality.

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.

Pump Box Oil Change

The Pump Box oil needs to be changed after the first 50 hours of use, and then every 300 hours after that.

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.

Clean the High Pressure Nozzle Filter Core

The nozzle filter core is the last defense in the high pressure system before the water reaches Jewel Orifice. Perform the cleaning regularly to prevent hours of repair work in the long run

Abrasive Backflow Detect and Clean Abrasive Hose

WAZER incorporates a sensor to immediately pause cutting once a backflow is detected, only a small portion of the abrasive system needs to be cleaned afterwards

WAZER tracks the number of hours it has been running.
Please check the “Total Cut Time“ in the maintenance menu regularly. If you do not abide by the regular maintenance procedures and schedule, the warranty and support for your WAZER will be void.

Before servicing WAZER:

Turn off or close the On/Off Valve or water supply to the machine.
Purge the high-pressure system by properly ending/completing a cut or performing a Nozzle Purge.
Turn off WAZER and disconnect AC power from WAZER and the Pump Box.
Never remove the cover of the Pump Box while it is plugged in.
