As with all machinery, proper attention and maintenance is the key to long component life,
maximum performance, and safe operation. By spending a few minutes reading and
following these preventive measures, you should reduce the downtime and prolong the life
of your system.
It is important to understand that these maintenance schedules are minimum
recommendations.
Highlight Industries, Inc.
cannot possibly know, evaluate, or advise the
various trades in all schedules of periodic maintenance. Accordingly, anyone who
maintains or services a stretch wrap machine must first satisfy himself/herself as to the
schedules of preventive maintenance based on cycling operation and environmental
locations.
Warning!
All maintenance operations require the equipment to be powered down and
locked out for personnel safety.

and is adhering to the lock-out/tag-out procedures set forth by the General OSHA or the
State OSHA guidelines.
Visual Checks
Visual checks should be conducted daily before operating equipment:
1. Keep the machine and surrounding area as clean as possible, especially near
moving components.
2. Check for loose hardware, especially set screws located in: sprocket hubs, bearing
hubs, and flanges.

4. Check for dry seals at the bearings.
