9) MAINTENANCE
VIMEC products are built in compliance with the
current Machinery Directive, that emphasizes the
importance of safety both in designing and building
the machines, as well as of proper installation and
maintenance over time.
Therefore the product warranty is subject to an
ordinary and accurate maintenance of all safety de-
vices and guards. The maintenance service shall be
carried out by skilled technicians specially trained
for this task, in charge of performing the operations
described below.
WARNING: In all cases, call in only staff au-
thorised by VIMEC for servicing and repairs; use
only original spare parts.
WARNING: The recommended maintenance
frequencies must be complied with.
9.1) Parts requiring regular inspection
Skill level: OS - Specialist operator authorised by
VIMEC.
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply be-
fore starting maintenance, by turning the Master
Switch to OFF. Then padlock the box containing
the Master Switch.
Six-monthly checks:
a) Safety devices
Check that on contact with an obstacle, the anti-impact
and anti-shearing sensors stop the stairlift and allow it
to be started in the opposite travel direction.
Check that the stopping positions at the floors provided
by the limit switches are to requirements.
b) Electromagnetic brake
The electromagnetic brake on the motor must stop the
stairlift when fully loaded before the over-run device is
tripped. If necessary, replace the whole brake.
c) Drive mechanics
Check that the teeth of the drive sprocket and the
nylon wheels on which the stairlift runs are not worn or
damaged. There must be no grooves or flattening on
the wheels. Check the chain and its stretcher device
for wear.
d) Safety gear
Check that the hook device is free to operate without
friction or excessive clearances and that it trips the
safety microswitch correctly.
To check operation of the safety gear, proceed as
follows:
- Move the stairlift 1-2 metres from the floor.
- Disconnect the power supply by turning the master
switch to OFF.
- Remove the protective panel (Fig. 1/b).
- Press the safety ear hook with a wooden/plastic rod.
WARNING: Keep well away from all unpro-
tected moving parts.
- Restore the power supply and press the down button
until the hook engages. The stairlift will stop when the
safety microswitch is pressed by the hook.
- Reset the safety gear by moving the stairlift upward
in manual mode (see point 7.5).
e) Stability of the rail
Check all the fixing screws of the connections to the
mounts and all expansion plugs present.
f) General checks
Check all moving parts, the guards, labels and signs.
g) Rail cleaning
Make an accurate rail cleaning and waxing.
Annual checks:
a) Controls
Check their operation by trying out the stairlift in all
functions from on board (and from the control boards
at the floors if installed) in the working modes envisa-
ged.
Make sure that the system has not been tampered
with or modified.
WARNING: Retractable bars
Every 10.000 cycles, grease chain and shoes with
an anti-grip product.
