8 Care, maintenance and repair
8.1 Care by cleaning
The roller driver must always be kept in a clean condition.
All plastic parts and painted surfaces should be
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and some neutral
cleaner.
Remove excess grease or oil with a dry, lint-free cloth.
8.2 Maintenance and repair
If the roller driver is not functioning properly, contact a
specialised dealer or our customer service. Please find
the contact data on chapter 1.2 Customer service.
Immediately reassemble all protective and safety equip-
ment after completing the repair and maintenance of the
device.
Maintenance plan
If regular inspections reveal increased wear and tear,
shorten the required maintenance intervals in
accordance with the actual signs of wear and tear. If
you have any questions regarding maintenance work
and intervals, please contact the manufacturer. The
contact details can be found in chapter 1.2 Customer
Service.
Step 1: Lubricate all moving parts of the roller dri-
ver(bearings) with high quality grease.
Step 2: Check the threaded rod and the load loop for
wear and external damage before each use.
Step 3: Ensure that all safety instructions on the roller
driver are legible.
Visual inspection and maintenance
Checking the load loop for wear
According to DIN 685 Part 5 or UVV BGV D8 § 27 (VBG
8 § 27), continuous monitoring of the load loop is a
mandatory requirement. The load loop must be checked
before commissioning and under normal operating
conditions after approx. 200 operating hours or 10,000
load cycles, and at shorter intervals under severe
operating conditions.
The loop must be checked especially at the points of
contact for wear, cracking, deformation and other
damage.
The threaded rod must be replaced:
- Wear of the loop thickness to the limit values
(see table, D)
- Expansion of the loop by 10%.
- Visible deformation
Use protective gloves!
NOTE!
Never use strong cleaning agents to clean the de-
vice. Such cleaning agents might damage or destroy
the device.
ATTENTION!
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried
out by qualified personnel.

Maintenance tasks
before each
operation
Check the roller driver for damage
and wear, look particularly at the ca-
ble and check for deflection, stretch-
ing, fissures or corrosion.
Check the load loop for wear or loss
of substance from abrasion. If the
wear exceeds 10% of the normal
working level, the load loop must be
replaced.
following
each opera-
tion
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the
roller driver. Oil the load loop well.
