MAINTENANCE
These instructions do not in any case substitute the norms and laws that regulate work safety,
nor do they limit the responsibility of the purchaser and user of the radio remote control.
All control and maintenance actions carried out on the radio remote control must be verified and
recorded by the person in charge of carrying out maintenance on the machine.
Before carrying out maintenance, it is recommended to replace the battery with
a charged one and to ensure the efficiency of the starting keyswitch.
After each maintenance action, always make sure that commands sent by the
transmitting unit only activate the corresponding expected operations.
Routine maintenance carried out as described in this manual is fundamental for
using the radio remote control safely.
7.1
Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance consists of operations carried out to maintain (through verifica-
tions, restoration, programmed replacements) the use and working conditions fore-
seen by Autec when the product is placed on the market.
Special applications may need more specific routine maintenance actions to be carried out at
different periods.
All given instructions must be followed correctly each time the machine and the radio
remote control are put into service.
If problems are noted while carrying out routine maintenance, disable the sys-
tem “radio remote control” and follow the indications provided in
chapter 9.
