10.0 Inspection and Maintenance
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED
IN SECTION 3.0 OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE
PERFORMING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES ON THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
COULD RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The Movotec
®
Q-Drive ATU Lift System should be inspected regularly to detect any
condition which has or may lead to excessive component wear or premature failure.
Special attention should be given to the following possible causes of motor or system
failure.
10.1 Changing Load Conditions
Overload conditions should be promptly corrected to prevent premature wear of
mechanical components. This will also prevent overheating and premature failure of
electrical components.
10.2 Motor and Load Alignment
Pump and motor shafts can become misaligned if a lift system is installed incorrectly or if
the motorized pump sustains an impact during transit or use. Misaligned motor and
pump shafts can cause noise and uneven wear to the driving components which can lead
to premature failure of the system. If the system drive shafts become misaligned, correct
the alignment as needed.
10.3 Contamination
Although surgical cleanliness is not required, ordinary cleaning practices will pay off in
increased service life of the lift system. Dust and dirt can restrict ventilation for electrical
components and cause wear in moving components such as shafts and bearings. An
attempt should be made to keep the system components reasonably clean throughout their
useable service life.
10.4 Power Cord and Hydraulic Tubing Damage
Check the power cord insulation and hydraulic tubing for visible signs of aging and wear.
Replacement of damaged wiring and tubing will prevent future breakdowns and possible
injury to personnel.
