Hye folks,
I need a suggestion. We have 2 Le Maitre True North Snow machines and one of them has a torn filter sock on the front. That means when Snow machine #2 fires, it always has a thicker more sudsy output. I'm waiting on a reply from Le Maitre's tech department, but has anyone replaced a sock on a Snow Machine before?
The sock seems to be glued onto the output nozzel as well, so any attempt to fix results in a bigger tear.
Show fix #1 was to reposition the sock and secure it with a zip tie. Didn't work so well as soap and vibration caused the sock to loosen.
Show fix #2 was to reposition the sock and secure it with rubber bands. Worked "slightly" better than the zip tie.
"Why don't you just sew it back up?" The rip extends into the area that is glued onto the nozzle. A clean sewing fix "seems" to be impossible.
