ACI EP10A belt driven compact blower<\/a> is designed to be a minimum maintenance device. Nevertheless, following some basic maintenance operations will extend the life of the blower\u2019s mechanical components and ensure continued efficiency and longevity.<\/p>\n

The key point to maintaining the performance of the EP10A is to keep the pre-filter and main filter assembly clean \u2013 \u00a0ACI advises that the pre-filter is cleaned every 4-6 weeks (depending on working environment conditions) and the main filter element to be completely replaced every 6 months.<\/p>\n
