Wash and Rinse Tanks
Remove the standpipe and screen for each tank and drain. Thoroughly clean the tanks and removable screens. Check the immersion heater (below). Read the CAUTION notice concerning the use and method of cleaning Billco washers at the beginning of this Section.
Air Filters & Drying System
Clean or replace air filter(s). Be sure to use exact replacements. An incorrect filter could affect washer performance (contact Billco). A filter that is too small in thickness could be sucked into the blower compartment. Verify cleanliness of blower housing, tubing and air knives.
Immersion Heaters
Check the immersion heaters for scale build up. Even a thin build up will cause the elements to split. Use any commercially available detergent for removing mineral deposits to clean the heater.
Fasteners, Setscrews, Electrical Terminals, worm gear drive and Attached Items
Check all around machine for looseness of parts. Tighten, as needed, all fasteners, setscrews, worm gear drive assembly and electrical terminals. These checks should be performed at least every 40 hours or as frequently as equipment use and experience dictates.
