Maintenance Information 1. Pre-Start Checklist Fasteners - some may have loosened during shipment; re-tighten as required Inspect all splice points for proper alignment Check for proper product clearance prior to operation 2. Start-up/Break-in Daily monitoring of the following during the first 250 hours of operation Check guide rail timing - Spot check guide rail openings to make sure accuracy is maintained Check actuators - Check hand wheel or powered actuator for over torque. Adjust line shaft alignment if torque is too high 3. Control Basics Do NOT adjust rail when product is present Manual adjustment accomplished by use of hand wheel and scaled bracket Automatic adjustment accomplished by use of a HMI 4. Maintenance Maintenance is very low on this equipent Look for excessive wear Check for leaking seals on reducers Examine guide rail bracket blocks for disproportionate wear Semi-annual inspection of equipment is recommended for long life and exceptional operation 7
