CHAPTER 7 - Maintenance

7.2   Routine maintenance

When the machine is delivered to the user, it is already adjusted to work properly; however, in order to ensure smooth 
operation over time, periodic and preventive checks and maintenance work must be carried out.

Routine maintenance

 includes inspections, checks and interventions that, to prevent breakdowns, keep the following 

under control:

•  the mechanical conditions of the machine,
•  cleanliness of the machine.

The following tables list a series of checks and interventions to be carried out following a recommended timetable. The 
frequency  of  the  routine  maintenance  operations  indicated  refers  to  normal  operating  conditions,  i.e.  that  meet  the 
intended conditions of use.
The table below lists a series of routine maintenance procedures valid for all types of machines manufactured by 

ARS S.r.l.

The operator must take into consideration only the procedures relating to the machine described in this manual.

iMPORTAnT!

For the routine maintenance of machines from external suppliers, see the sub-supplier manuals for said 
machines attached hereto.

iMPORTAnT!

Always use LOCTITE 243 threadlocker to ensure the screws are properly secured (except for the flange 
screws on the FlexiBowl

®

 belt).
