Maintenance itself is very minimal. Cleanliness is the answer to circumventing 99% of possible problems. The type of use to which this equipment is put, will determine how often it needs cleaning. In a situation where the ambient air is laden with grease fumes, more frequent cleaning will be necessitated than under normal conditions. Every 2 to 3 months the generator should be removed and inspected to see if it has become dirty and hence will not produce ozone. If it is dirty clean it in soap and water using an old toothbrush. If this fails to remove the dirt then dismantle the generator (carefully) and clean the parts in a strong acid solution, such as hydrochloric acid (Found in hardware stores under the name "Muriatic Acid"). Never leave any part in the acid for more than 5 minutes. Remove the parts from the acid wearing rubber gloves and rinse thoroughly under running water before drying and reassembling. It is well to note that all parts must be 100% dry, otherwise any moisture left could cause a short circuit and burn out the high voltage transformer. If a machine fails to operate after doing the proceeding, then check fuses to see if one is burnt out. If so, then replace it with the same capacity fuse. If the replacement burns out then a legitimate problem exists. Check the wiring to see if anything appears to be wrong. If you cannot locate the problem then send the machine back to our service department for repair.
