Ch 5 Maintenance

enerAl
A regular maintenance schedule should be
established to obtain the best service and
reliability from the electric racking device.
Actual inspection and maintenance will
depend on individual application conditions
such as number of racking operations, time
between uses, and storage conditions. When
the electric racking device has been in storage
for an extended period of time, it must be
inspected and cleaned before being used. See
Ch 4 Installation and Operation

.
A permanent record of maintenance work
and inspections should be kept. The degree
of record detail depends on the operating
conditions. The record should include the
dates and results starting from the date the
device is first put into service. Dates and
results of inspections and routine maintenance
activities should be recorded.

Inspect the electric racking device for loose or
damaged hardware or parts. Tighten any loose
hardware, and replace missing or damaged
hardware or parts.
When necessary, remove loose dust and dirt
from the electric racking device with a vacuum
cleaner, a clean, dry cloth, or an industrial type
wiper. DO NOT use an air hose to clean the
electric racking device. Dirt or grit may be
blown into critical parts, including bearings,
which will cause excessive wear of the parts.
