3.0 Maintenance

3.1  Warning:  Be sure power is turned off. 

3.2  Maintenance of conductor system is dependent on atmospheric conditions and frequency of use.  The frequency of inspection depends on the 
age of the system.  A new system should be checked after one month and again the following month until a pattern of maintenance is established.  For 
example, a class “C” (moderate service) crane handling 50% of rated capacity with 5 to 10 lifts per hour should require maintenance approximately 
every six months after the first year of service.

3.3  Collectors 

3.3.1  Any accumulation of dirt or dust should be removed from the collector.

3.3.2  Replace worn collector shoes.

3.3.3  Check spring tension to provide proper pressure on every collector shoe.  Replace weak springs.

3.3.4  

Note:  Check for free mechanical action of collector to conductor.  Clean and lubricate where necessary.  

3.3.5  Realign collectors vertically and horizontally to the collector mount and to the conductor.  Ensure that pigtail cable does not cause misalignment of 
shoe on conductor.

3.4  Conductors

3.4.1  Wipe contact surface and cover clean of grease, dust and dirt.  Sufficient accumulation may cause a ground.

3.4.2  

Check straightness and alignment of conductor and relieving hanger clamps to permit sliding action for free expansion of conductor.

3.4.3  Check plastic cover for wear and misalignment at joints.  Replace unduly worn sections.  Check vertical and horizontal alignment of conductor.

3.4.4  Check at switches, transfer points, expansion gaps, etc., for wear.  Replace unduly worn parts.  Tighten loose bolts.

3.4.5  Where bar has been bent or joints broken by ladders, ropes, etc., or where bar has been pitted by arcing collector, replace by cutting out with 
hacksaw and clamping new section in place.
