Where should technicians look?

After the unit has been isolated under the site procedure, inspect accessible blade surfaces, the wheel inlet and the housing. Record the location and appearance of deposits. Uneven buildup can change the wheel’s balance, so preserve the distribution in photos before cleaning.

What should be checked after cleaning?

Use the equipment manufacturer’s approved cleaning method. Record any abrasion or damage revealed by cleaning and refer it for assessment. After authorized restart, compare vibration at the same measurement point and a comparable speed and load.
