10. Maintenance
Maintenance and overhaul is to be carried out by qualified personnel only.
The sleeper layer is designed for the absolute minimum of maintenance. All its components
have been chosen for a long working-life and are of high quality.
The sleeper layer requires:
• Visual inspection before every working shift
• A minor maintenance after every working shift
•
A more thorough overhaul every six months
Warranty applies on consumable parts and spares delivered by Pandrol AB.
10.1 Daily inspection
Before and after every usage or working shift:
• Check the condition and if there is any leakage from the hydraulic components or
hoses. If necessary, tighten the couplings and replace damaged parts.
• Check fastening clamps and its condition. Tighten or replace if damaged.
•
Make sure that all screws and nuts are tightened, tighten if necessary. It might be
necessary to tighten screws after some usage of the sleeper layer that has come
loose caused by vibrations.
• Check for cracks or damage to mechanical parts.
• Keep the machine clean to ensure good visibility when checking for leakage or
damage to the frame e.g. cracks.
• Lubricate according to lubrication chart every eight operating hour.
NOTE!
On delivery, some problems can arise due to friction and air in the hydraulic cylinders.
The problems will, normally, disappear after a short time use. If the disturbance doesn’t
disappear then open and close cylinders until the air is out of the system.
Repair damaged paintwork by applying original paint (RAL 1004) to prevent rust.
WARNING!
Machine engine and hydraulics must be turned OFF before all
service and overhaul work. Failure to do so could lead to fatal
injury.
