Tips on maintenance
Cleaning the machine
Cleaning of the equipment should be car-
ried out at regular intervals, following the
schedule listed in this manual.
To clean delicate parts of the machine,
direct the compressed air jet so that neither
processing residuals nor humidity can
penetrate the mechanical groups under
maintenance.
To clean any inner and/or moving parts (in
touch with lube) only use lint-free cloths.
Always use dry air during cleaning and
regulate the pressure so the operator does
not risk any injury.
Regular intervals in the maintenance
operations
The time intervals quoted in the maintenan-
ce table are reference values concerning
the machine operating time during running
and the company situation.
The most important environmental factors
affecting these intervals are: machine en-
vironment (temperature, humidity, and air
pollution).
Machine Lubrication
Use only the amount of lubrication neces-
sary to lubricate the concerned mechani-
sm. Carefully dry any excess of lubrication
or grease with a cloth.
Sometimes, either an excess or lack of lu-
brication can jeopardize the smooth opera-
tion of the machine.
To lubricate only recommended lubricants
should be used or lubricants with equiva-
lent characteristics, of a known and tested
quality.
The replacement of used oils should be
done when the machine is warm. The oil
temperature should range between 25 and
30 °C. (See Section 8)
The draining and
fi
lling holes should not be
left open beyond the time strictly necessary
to replace the oil.
Operations to be performed during
maintenance
During the carrying out of any maintenan-
ce operation, attention should be given to
all indications that might precede a failure,
and speci
fi
cally:
• presence of corrosion,
• presence of wear,
• presence of loose joints or connections,
• presence of corrosion on electrical
contacts,
• exhaust the air from the pneumatic pipings,
after each maintenance intervention.
Minimizing downtimes due to failures
It should be noted that correctly performed
maintenance intervention, helps minimize
downtimes due to failures.
A repair made at the right time prevents
further deterioration.
Use only original spare parts and repair the
failed component as carefully as possible
