Section 5 Preventive Maintenance
Your RoboCrib has been designed to give you years of reliable service with a minimum amount of
maintenance. However, some minor preventative maintenance is required to keep the system running in
peak condition. Below we have listed the tasks that should be performed at periodic points to ensure the
system performs at peak operating efficiency.
I. Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
1.
Sheet Metal Surface
a.
16 gauge sheet metal finished with diamond texture powder coat.
b.
The surface is rugged and shop hardened to stay appealing to the eye for years.
c.
As dirt and grease accumulate on the surface, the machine should be wiped with a lint
free rag and Simple Green or Formula 2001. (AutoCrib suggests Formula 2001)
2.
Windows
a.
The Plexiglass viewing windows should be cleaned with Windex or a different type of
window cleaner.
b.
DO NOT USE any other product on the windows as it may scratch or stain the window
surface.
3.
Touch Screen Keypboard
a.
Clean the keyboard with a keyboard cleaner.
b.
DO NOT place any liquid into the keyboard. This may damage the internal working of
the keyboard.
c.
AutoCrib suggests cleaner be applied to a rag before wiping the keyboard.
4.
Touch Screen
a.
Wipe the screen with a clean, soft rag.
b.
409 or a glass cleaner can be used on the rag.
c.
Never spray directly on the touch screen membrane.
This could damage or short the
membrane.
II.
Preventive Maintenance – Hardware (After 30 days)
1.
Bin Doors:
a.
Open every bin door.
b.
Make sure the hinges and actuation systems are not binding up. If they are not working
properly, make the necessary adjustments to ensure free operation.
2.
Door Solenoids:
a.
Inspect the door solenoid harness to ensure the wiring harness is not loose or
contacting the platter systems.
b.
Visually inspect the mechanical gear system to ensure product has not fallen into the
mechanisms. Also, check underneath the main platter.
3.
Main Platter Chain
a.
The tension in the chain should have about a ½” of play in it.
b.
It is normal for the chain to stretch within the first thirty days. If the system is loaded
with a large amount of weight, the chain may stretch more.
c.
Tighten the adjuster bolt on the chain tensioner until you have the correct amount of
play. Apply a Dry Chain Lube to the chain.
