Can the Alltrax xct get wet?

Greylock · 05-28-2019, 05:03 AM

After a really dusty weekend I wanted to hose off my cart, but wasn't sure if I can hose foo the xct controller with fan?

It's an electrical device. Cover it with a heavy plastic bag to keep direct water pressure from hitting it.

Beat me to it. Why would you want to? I use a shop vac to blow off most electronics, holding fans stationary. Is spinning fans really really fast a problem, probably not. But again, why?

Compressed air or a leaf blower will remove 99% of the dust without risk of electrical damage to the cart system.

I've always used leaf blowers on computers. When I upgraded computers for friends, you could always tell the smokers. Needed (but didn't get) solvent pressure washing. Smokers who own cats! All the heat sink fins were well insulated.

I have a new cordless blower from Ryobi fits my collection of 18v lithium batteries and moves a lot of air !

A leaf blower does sound like a great idea!
