What You Should Know
WARNING
Always lock out or tag out the power source before performing any service or
maintenance to the equipment.
1. The internal surfaces of the machine may need to be cleaned regularly depending on the
characteristics of the product. Before cleaning, DISCONNECT POWER AND LOCK OUT. Remove
covers where applicable for easy access. When complete, replace and properly secure covers.
2. Unusual noises coming from the machine should be investigated immediately. GSI IS NOT LIABLE
FOR DAMAGE DUE TO NEGLECT ON THE PART OF THE OPERATOR. If you are concerned
about noise that the machine is making, please shut down and call your dealer immediately.
3. Remove accumulated dirt from the motor, reducer housings and bearings.
a. Motors depend upon unobstructed airflow over their housings for effective cooling.
b. Reducer gear cases must also be free of dirt for effective heat radiation. Most reducers have a
pressure vent to permit escape of vapors, which may build up internally. If dirt blocks a vent,
internal pressure can rupture seals. Leaking lubricant will contaminate the product being
handled by the elevator and reducer failure and subsequent equipment downtime will definitely
result if the leak is not discovered in time and repairs made. Original equipment manufacturers
will refuse to honor warranties if a motor or reducer fails because dirt accumulation leads to
overheating or lubricant failure.
c. While cleaning the reducer, check the reducer’s lubricant level and condition. If the level is low,
find and correct the leak. If the lubricant is dirty or shows signs of overheating, schedule a
change of lubricant as soon as possible.
d. Listen carefully for a noisy motor, reducer, or bearings, or a rubbing belt. Any of these sounds
can be a forewarning of overheating and fire or explosion. Correct any problem discovered
immediately.
