Maintenance
Chapter 4: Maintenance
N O T E :
The bearing area must be kept free of foreign matter and moisture; otherwise, the performance
and life expectancy of the stage will be reduced.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule
Inspect the ECO165LM once per month. A longer or shorter inspection interval may be required depending
on the specific application, and conditions such as the duty cycle, speed, and environment.
In general, stages operating in a clean environment should be cleaned and lubricated annually or every 500
km (whichever comes first). For stages operating under conditions involving excessive debris, the stage
should be cleaned every six months. For high-speed applications (those near max speed at a duty cycle of
50%), frequent maintenance with standard lubricants is required.
Monthly inspections should include but not be limited to:
l
Visually inspect the stage and cables
l
Re-tighten loose connectors
l
Replace or repair damaged cables
l
Clean the ECO165LM and any components and cables as needed
l
Repair any damage before operating the ECO165LM
l
Inspect and perform an operational check on all safeguards and protective devices
