Maintenance
WARNING!
Turn the main power to the operator off before performing any maintenance or repair operations.
The manufacturer recommends that only qualified personnel check and maintain the equipment.
The FAAC recommended maintenance schedule varies
according to the frequency of use of the operator,
whether lightly used (once or twice an hour on average)
or heavily used (many times an hour on average).
1. Check the oil.
To check the oil level, remove the black plastic,
hexagonal oil cap beneath the control panel platform
inside the 820 or 860 operator. A dip stick is attached to
the bottom of the oil cap for checking the oil. The oil
level should be at or slightly above the mark on the dip
stick.
Light use: check once per year
Heavy use: check every 6 months
2. Change the oil.
Changing the oil requires removing the operator from
its foundation plate and removing the cover and the
platform to which the control panel is attached. This
allows you easy access to the black plastic, hexagonal
oil loading cap.
Remove the oil loading cap. Drain the oil from the
operator by pumping the oil out or by gently tipping the
operator to its side so that the oil can drain. Fill the
operator with oil (about 1 qt [0.9 liter]) and reassemble
the operator and remount it on its foundation plate.
Light use: every 4 years
Heavy use: every 2 years
3. Check the clutch adjustment.
Light use: once per year
Heavy use: every 6 months
