Pre-Operation Inspection

1.  The festoon system is now installed. Prior to hookup and application of power, the carrier should be cycled manually, if possible.
2.  Check for proper mounting of end clamps.
3.  Check for obstructions of channel joints.
4.  Check cable for proper loop depth, freedom of travel, and stretch-out.
5.  On pendant systems, check for proper spacing of the pendant to the floor, and connect this cable in the junction box.
6.  The cable connections now can be made to the power unit and the source, using the appropriate cable strain relief bushing(s).

Operation Instructions

•  Do not exceed the voltage or amperage rating of the cable. Overheating, fire, damages to equipment or personal injury could result.
•  Operate the festoon system within the electrical and mechanical limits it was intended.

Maintenance Instructions

All trolleys are lubricated and sealed for life, therefore no re-greasing is required. However, customers should conduct periodic 
inspections of the system. Determine the inspection intervals based on duty cycles and environment. The following checks are 
recommended during inspection:

1.  Check all rollers for wear
2.  Check tightness of all hardware. (See torque specifications)
3.  Check cable clamps on all trolleys, making sure cables remain secure.
4.  Inspect cable for any cuts or cracks.
5.  Check channel for wear, and clear the running surface of any debris.
