PERIODIC CHECKS

• After one hour of operation: Check that there are no
significant water leaks.
• Every fifteen days: Check operation for water leaks and
the general condition of the cylinder. Check that during
operation there is no arcing between the electrodes.
• Every three months: Check operation for water leaks and,
if necessary, replace the cylinder. Check that there are no
blackened parts of the cylinder. If there are blackened parts
of the cylinder, check the condition of the electrodes and, if
necessary, replace the cylinder.
• Annually: Replace the cylinder.
CAUTION: ALWAYS disconnect the main power before
doing maintenance.
CAUTION: ALWAYS disconnect the main power before
touching the cylinder that has leaked, as current may
flow through the water.

CYLINDER MAINTENANCE

The life of the cylinder depends on a number of factors, as
previously described. As previously mention in this manual,
maximum production can shorten cylinder life. Since the 5500
is pre-set from the factory at 100%, reducing the factory setting
to lower than maximum production will extend cylinder life.
