Checks When the Chain is Removed
The slide rail needs to be checked once a year or after 1500
hours of operation. The chain should be removed from the
conveyor beam for checking the slide rail. Check carefully
on the condition of wear and the screws.
Horizontal Bends
Horizontal bends need to be checked carefully after every
200 hours of operation.
Check the inner slide rail in horizontal bends carefully, since
the friction here is particularly high. The conveyor chain
develops more pressure on the inner slide rail compared to
the outer slide rail.
• Check the slide rail for scratches and notches.
• Replace the slide rail and the screws, if necessary.
• Clean the conveyor chain and check the condition of the
chains.
• Clean the conveyor beam.
Safety Devices
Safety devices should be checked at regular intervals.
• Check the motor cover for the suspended drive
).

• This motor cover must always be in place when the con-
veyor is operating.
• The drive unit should always have a chain cover to protect
the safety of the users. The chain slack can be seen when
the conveyor is running at the drive unit. Check that the
chain cover plates are in place, and that the chain does not
slacken enough to hang below the plates (
).

• Check that the chain cover is in place for the conveyor
chain on the intermediate drive units and the catenary
drive units.
