11 - INSPECTION AND OPERATION

 
Proper inspection of all equipment is required to ensure continuous function-
ality, safety and to ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions. 
Inspect electrical assemblies and wiring installations for damage, general 
condition, and proper functioning to ensure the continued satisfactory opera-
tion of the electrical system. Adjust, repair, overhaul, and test electrical equip-
ment and systems in accordance with the recommendations and procedures 
in the OPENER and/or component manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Replace components of the electrical system that are damaged or defective 
with identical parts, with manufacturer’s approved equipment, or its equiva-
lent to the original in operating characteristics, mechanical strength, and envi-

QNMLDMS@KRODBHjB@SHNMR O@QSH@KKHRSNERTFFDRSDCOQNAKDLRSNKNNJENQ@MC

checks to be performed are listed below:

11.1

  Damaged, discolored, or overheated equipment, connections, wiring, 

bearing caps and installations.

11.2

  Excessive heat or discoloration at high current carrying connections.

(look for bluing or heat affected metal).

11.3

  Misalignment of electrically driven equipment. (Causes strain on pulley 

assemblies and bearings).

11.4

  Poor electrical bonding (broken, disconnected or corroded bonding 

strap) and grounding, including evidence of corrosion.

11.5

  Dirty equipment and connections. Clean equipment and connections.

11.6

  Improper, broken, inadequately supported equipment, wiring and 

conduit, loose connections of terminals, and loose ferrules.

11.7

  Poor mechanical or weld joints. Broken welds. 

11.8

  Condition of circuit breaker and fuses. Ensure that they are of the cor-

rect type and amperage. 

11.9

 (MRTEjBHDMSBKD@Q@MBDADSVDDMDWONRDCBTQQDMSB@QQXHMFO@QSR@MC

ground or poor insulation of exposed terminals. All exposed connec-
tions must be covered (prevent arcing between exposed parts, and 
electrical shock). 

11.10

  Broken or missing wire, connectors, etc.

11.11

  Operational check of electrically operated equipment such as motors, 

inverters, generators, batteries, lights, protective devices, etc. Ensure 
proper functionality of all systems during inspections.
