Maintenance on, in or under the scissor-unit
For maintenance work on, below or between the scissors construction, the scissor-locking
device should be unfolded. Remove the cover plate (Figure A). Fold out the catch with the
scissors up. Lower the scissors (B) until it is against the safety catch. Now switch off the
BENOMIC S500
with the main switch.
After maintenance, turn on the
BENOMIC S500
with the main switch.
By subsequently pressing the release button (2) for 5 seconds (audible bleep) and
keeping it pressed, the service key (3) will be released for use. Send the work platform
slightly up, after which the locking catch can be folded. Then operate the platform
completely down.
Now use the horn / reset button (10) to activate the
BENOMIC S500
, ‘reset’ after using the
main switch (1) or the emergency stop (8). After this operation, the indicator (11) will light
up Green continuously when the
BENOMIC S500
is in a safe status, it is then ready for
use.
The scissor shafts run on bearing bushes. The inner-parts of the scissors are connected
to the outer ones with a shaft. To prevent rust on the shafts, lubricate them with a
universal lubricant, using a grease gun at least once annually. Raise the scissors and
block the unit using the scissor-lock (see figure 9.1). Put the grease gun on the nipples
(see figure 9.2) and pump in grease until it comes out at the ends of the bearing bushes.
9.3
pipe-rail system maintenance
The pipe-rail system on which the
BENOMIC S500
runs should be checked on a regular
basis. The
BENOMIC S500
has been designed to run on a stable pipe-rail system. This
means that each path between the crops has a track comprising two pipes of the same
diameter with a fixed width between them (centre-to-centre, c.t.c. size). The pipes are
often used as heating pipes and are supported along fixed distances.
