Maintenance Instruction
Generally, pneumatic machines need little maintenance. If the following rules are observed, the
machine will have the expected long life-time and high reliability. Service life and performance of
the machines are decisively determined by:
· The air purity
· The lubrication conditions and maintenance
· The regular control of the compressed air filter, as well as the regular checking of the machine
with regards to external damages.
Inspection and maintenance can be done by the operator. Disassembly and re-assembly of the
machine have to be executed by qualified staff only. Incorrect assembly can lead to danger of
accident for the operator and to defects on the machine.
As already mentioned, the maintenance of the pneumatic drive has to be done by using a
maintenance unit, respectively by lubricating the air connection. Furthermore, it is compulsory to
check, if there is enough grease in the impact mechanism and to refill or change it, if necessary.
Impact mechanisms, which are not properly greased, wear out earlier, have a decrease in
performance and normally stop working after a certain period without lubrication .
After completing maintenance and repair work and before restarting production make sure that…
· All materials, tools and other equipment which are required for maintenance or repairs have
been removed from the work area of the machine.
· Any fluid leaks have been removed.
· All safety devices on the machine have proper function.
· The oil level was checked.
· Fixtures of screw connections are tight
· Removed container covers, screens or filters were reinstalled
The owner ensures that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is done by authorized
and qualified experts, who have been appropriately informed by thorough study of the operation
manual.
DISASSEMBLY- RE-ASSEMBLY
Maintenance and repair
Disassembly and re-assembly should be done according to the exploded views, respectively the
sectional drawings (see repair instruction). All work regarding disassembly and re-assembly, as well
as maintenance and repair have to be executed by skilled staff only.
DANGER
– Working with the machine without appropriate preparation and
disregarding of instructions. Shut down the machine properly and let it cool down to
the ambient temperature.
NOTICE
– Special instructions apply for the repair of explosion-proof machines.
Retrofits or modifications of the machine can affect the explosion protection. Therefore,
retrofits or modifications are allowed upon agreement with the manufacturer only.
