PERIODIC INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The following is a checklist to be followed in performing periodic inspections and preventative
maintenance on Gorbel® Tarca® Systems. It is intended that this checklist be supplemented with
any additional instruction sheets and maintenance manuals sent with each job.
The frequency of inspection and lubrication recommendations presented herein is based upon
normal operating conditions of one complete handling cycle every 10 minutes throughout a
40-hour week. If the actual duty cycle of a particular unit is greater or less than this, the inspec-
tions and lubrications should be performed more frequently or less frequently in proportion.
Each industry has conditions peculiar to it, which may cause wear of certain parts. The tabulation
given is only general and may be supplemented by an individual maintenance department
program to meet its own particular requirements. Particular attention should be given to corrosive
conditions, excessive vibrations, extreme ambient temperature variations, and rough handling
conditions.
Questions regarding damaged, worn or cracked equipment components should be directed to
the Gorbel® Customer Service Department at 800-821-0086 or 585-924-6262.
The recommendations contained herein are to be supplemented by any vendor instructions,
which are included in this manual.
WARNING:
Power should be off and locked when performing maintenance on any part of the
system.
* State and local codes may require inspection and maintenance checks more often. Please
check the state and local code manuals in your area.
