Suggestions on maintenance
Machine cleaning
Cleaning of the equipment should be carried out at regular intervals, following the schedule in this
manual.
To clean delicate parts of the machine direct the compressed air jet so that neither machining waste nor
humidity can penetrate in the mechanic assemblies.
Only use lint-free cloths to clean internal and/or moving parts (in contact with lubricant).
Always use perfectlly dry air during the cleaning and at suitable pressure to avoid injuries to the opera-
tor.
Maintenance schedule
The time intervals in the maintenance tables are only reference values concerning the machine opera-
tion at the company’s conditions.
Environment factors affecting these intervals are mainly: machine environment (temperature, humidity)
and air pollution.
Machine lubrication
Use only the lubricant quantity needed to lubricate the involved mechanism. Carefully dry the excess
oil or grease with a cloth.
Sometimes an excess or a lack of lubricant may jeopardize the machine operation.
Only recommended lubricants or well known and tested equivalent lubricants should be used for lubri-
cation
Replacement of the exhausted oils should be made when the machine is warm. The oil temperature
should range between 25 and 30 °C. (see section 8).
The draining and filling holes should not be left open for more than the time needed to replace the oil.
Jobs to be performed during maintenance
During maintenance operations pay attention to all signs that may precede a failure, and specifically:
• presence of corrosion,
• presence of wear,
• presence of loose unions or connections,
• presence of oxidized contacts,
• after each maintenance operation, exhaust the air from the pneumatic pipings.
Minimizing downtimes after a failure
It should be noted that correctly performed maintenance interventions may minimize downtimes after
a failure.
A repair made in due time prevents further deterioration.
Only use original spare parts and repair the damaged component thoroughly, by your factory or send it
to the nearest authorised service centre.
