1.Daily Inspection
Clean and inspect machine frame every day; clean upholsteries;
inspect steel cable and the terminals for abrasion.
Clean upholsteries and machine frame with neutral soapy water, remove
dirt, oil stain and perspiration on the surfaces and air dry them completely.
Inspect the frame for rupture, rustiness and other damage. Make sure that
soldering points and fastening parts are correctly fixed.
Fastening parts may get loose during normal use; therefore, please
inspect all the nuts, bolts, screws and other fastening parts, make sure
they are well tightened and correctly assembled. The machine can only be
put into use when no problem is found.
Regular inspections of steel cable, pulleys, fastening parts and other
accessories must be carried out. Frequently used cable may be damaged
and broken due to abrasion; sudden damage or rupture may cause severe
injuries to users. Hence, daily inspection of cable and connections at the
terminals must be implemented. Check whether there’s kink or abrasion,
whether sheath and terminals are damaged. Special attention must be
paid to the terminals and the parts of cable which are in contact with
pulleys.
Damaged cable must be replaced immediately in case of
injury to users.
Characteristics of Obvious Steel Cable Damages (Picture 1)
(1)A tear or crack in the cable sheath that exposes the cable; or the part
of sheath which pulley contacts is cracked.
(2)Z-type twist or a curled sheath.
(3)Kinks which indicate that internal of cable may be damaged.
