5. General Maintenance 

This chapter describes  maintenance inspections and procedures.  Performing 
maintenance  inspections  and procedures  properly is essential for  preventing 
trouble and ensuring safety.   
Be sure to perform the maintenance inspections in accordance with the schedule. 

 

5.1  Schedule for Maintenance Inspection 

5.1.1  Manipulator 

Inspection points are divided into five stages: daily, monthly, quarterly, biannual, 
and annual.    The inspection points are added every stage. 
If the Manipulator is operated for 250 hours or longer per month, the inspection 
points  must  be added every 250 hours, 750 hours, 1500 hours, and 3000 hours 
operation.
