MAINTENANCE
Overview
NECO takes pride in choosing quality vendors and products in association with the design and
manufacture of our products:
• OEM products have a service life related to operating conditions and usage.
• Vendor supplied products consist of motors, gear reducers, bearings, valves, switches, etc.
• This information is to assist you in keeping the equipment in operating condition and to help
obtain correct OEM data for proper maintenance.
Prior to use and during regular usage - intreval based per conditions and amount of usage:
• Verify all Warning Labels & Safety Decals are in place and legible.
• Check electrical cords and boxes.
• Check for debris buildup within the trolleys and throughout the system.
• Check for proper belt drive tension and condition of belts. Replace any damaged belts.
• Check for proper lubrication - See “Lubrication Requirements”.
Follow all safety procedures as outlined in the SAFETY section of this manual.
Lubrication Requirements
• On greaseable sealed bearings, apply grease ONLY until a thin bead of new grease is visible
along the seal edge. Applying excessive grease may force out the seals, causing contamina-
tion and rapid bearing wear.
• Manufacturers of roller chains recommend using a product such as LE 451/452 ALMASOL for
lubrication and timing between lubes is entirely based on usage - min. every 100 hours to start.
• OEM drive motors can vary in size and manufacturer, depending on the size and usage re-
quirements. In order to properly maintain the various drive motors within your system, record
the manufacturer, model number, etc. from the motors ID tag. Follow manufacturers instruc-
tions for proper maintenance, including possible lubrication of shaft bearings.
