9.2
Maintenance in and around the scissor assembly
The scissor wedges should be used when working or carrying out maintenance in or around the
scissor assembly. Remove the cover plate (picture A). Extend the catch while the scissor is
raised allow the scissor to lower (B) until it touches the safety catch. Disconnect the
BENOMIC
by the main switch.
The scissor shafts are mounted on bearings by way of bushes. The
inner scissor parts are connected to the outside parts by way of a
continuous shaft. In order to avoid rust forming on the shafts they
should be greased at least once annually using a universal lubricating grease applied with a
grease gun. Raise the scissor and put the wedges into place to block them as described (see
picture 7.1). Put the grease gun over the grease nipples and pump in the lubricant until it flows
out of the outer edges of the bearing bushes.
9.3
Pipe rail system maintenance
The pipe rail system over which the
BENOMIC
travels requires to be checked periodically. The
system should always satisfy the horticulture sector guidelines for pipe rail systems in
greenhouses (see 7.2). It is prohibited to use the Pipe Rail Trolley on a pipe rail system that
does not satisfy these guidelines. The employer is also responsible for periodically checking
tools and equipment according to the current national regulations covering this subject.
Always ensure that the pipes have sufficient support and are spaced at no more than 1.25m
apart and that the supports are not at an angle and the pipes are firmly in place. Furthermore,
the pipes must be attached to a concrete pathway and should not be loose. The welded end-
stop on the pipes (building wall) should be at least 5cm high - check at each change of season
whether the end-stop is still upright and not bent over or split or cracked. The ground under the
pipe rail system should be dry, flat and hard. Soft or wet patches should be treated accordingly
and any subsidence dealt with permanently.
