CARE & MAINTENANCE
Periodic, regularly scheduled maintenance inspections are necessary for
any mechanical system. A theatrical curtain track system is no different. It
has components that must be inspected, adjusted, maintained and
replaced.
In order to keep your system safe and in good working order, a regular
inspection and maintenance program must be implemented.
Follow the schedule outlined below as a minimum maintenance programme. Once
the operating personnel has had an opportunity to work with the system during the
requirements.

Within 24hours of using a recently installed system, confirm all these last steps.
The best way to maintain your system is by using it regularly. This will allow the
inspector to regularly check for unusual noise or drag in the system. Above-average
use or operating the system at locations subject to high humidity, dust, extreme
temperature changes, etc. may require shorter intervals than indicated in the
scheduled programme outlined above.
