"Belt cooling 100 cfms air injection" what is that?

Just another poorly designed machine with something else that can fail?

Why would anybody name a CC machine Rage?

Don't we all have enough anger management issues to deal with as it is? :winky:

It's just a small fan running off of a simple belt( no extra motors). the air moves through the frame and then up through the belt guard thus cooling off the belts extending the life of the belts significantly, I have yet to change belts on mine. Also cools the font of blower and the bearing housing a bit.

A nice feature that was built in.

The 370 has a more narrow, rigid aluminum frame and Tri-flow 406 blower equaling more / faster Lift, CFM, noise reduction, less vibration and heat dissipation. Plus the blower is a tri-lobe vs dual lobe equaling faster water evacuation
The heat exchanger on the 370 is different and designed to handle much higher PSI. No water box to fiddle with. You get a water temp gauge and electric clutch also. Bigger water pump on the 370 along with a little bit bigger motor.
If you max out both blowers there is about a 60 CFM (15-20%) difference but the Tri-flow has faster/more lift

When you compare entry level machines for performance, features and benefits, and value, the Sapphire Rage wins. When deciding what entry level machine Legend Brands was going to offer, since we didn't need to build the Blazer and the Rage because of sales volume verses our other machines, the Rage was the unanimous decision.

My friend up the road has a Sapphire with low hours, I rent him my Prochem when he breaks down.. Too many things to go wrong as far as heat for me..

Yes, the Blazer is no longer being produced. Everyone agreed the Kohler engine along with the other features on the Rage were the way to go.

Probably, when I dropped my van off his temp gauge was at 270 or so.. I think the system is over complicated..

Hell you got a free pump!! It probably overheated..
