Safeguarding your Powermax investment
Performing routine maintenance does more than extend the life of your Powermax system.
By
Setting a Schedule
Powermax plasma systems have a reputation for reliability so owners sometimes overlook the importance of performing routine maintenance. Getting into a routine maintenance schedule is smart because it extends the life of your Powermax system, prevents downtime, and most importantly, it keeps you safe.
Here’s a quick list of what needs to happen; just be sure to unplug your system first.
Every use
- Clear indicator lights and fault icons.
- Inspect consumables for damage or excessive wear.
Every three months
- Inspect your power cord, plug, and torch lead for cuts and other major damage. Replace if needed.
- Inspect your torch. Check the trigger for damage, make sure the torch body does not have cracks, and that there are no exposed wires.
- Inspect the air filter on the back of your system. Replace if clogged or dirty.
Every six months
- Vacuum up dirt, dust, and metal debris that may have settled on the outside of your system.
- Ask an authorized Hypertherm service center to clean the inside of your power supply. Do not remove the cover yourself.
