Maintenance 

Fully trained and competent staff must carry out any maintenance work. Utile Engineering offers contract maintenance 
services if required contact our service department. 
When carrying out any maintenance and inspections always follow the health and safety guidelines on page 4. 

A regular correct maintenance plan is essential to good operational reliability and a long service life for your machine. As 
operating conditions vary, no exact timings can be specified for wear checks, repairs and inspections, however the following 

plan can be used as a guide until time scales to better suit the machines environment are found. 
 

The machine, ancillaries and surrounding area should be kept as clean as possible. 
 

Ensure all items are properly held and supported during all aspects of maintenance as not to pose a problem for health and 
safety. Observe all lifting points and apply care when handling the equipment. 

 
Ensure all machines and associated pipework have cooled down sufficiently before touching and attempting any 

maintenance. 
 

Typical tools required for maintenance include: - 
Set of spanners   

 

Pipe Wrenches   

 

 

Circlip Pliers 

Set of screwdrivers 

 

Vernier Gauge / Micrometer 

 

Two-leg Pulley drawer 

Set of Allen Keys   

 

Hammer / mallet   

 

 

Feeler Gauges 

 
Typical bolt tightening torques can be seen on page 6. 
New gaskets must be fitted every time the machine is dismantled. 

Bearings and seals are recommended to be replaced after 15000 operating hours or 2 years whichever is sooner. 
Blades must be replaced regardless of wear after 20000 operating hours as failure due to fatigue could cause serious 

damage. 
 

After maintenance the machine and equipment must be treated, as new and all pre-commissioning checks should be made. 
Install all protective devices and controls properly after completion of work. Ensure all cabling, unions and guards are 

correct, secure and in place. Dispose of any used oil and cleaning solutions as prescribed by law.
