Preventative Maintenance
Your RoboCrib has been designed to give you years of reliable service with a minimum amount of maintenance.
However, some minor preventative maintenance is required to keep the system running in peak condition. Below we
have listed the tasks that should be performed at periodic points to ensure the system performs at peak operating
efficiency.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
- Sheet Metal Surface
o 16 gauge sheet metal finished with diamond texture power coat.
o The surface is rugged and shop hardened to stay appealing to the eye for years.
o As dirt and grease accumulate on the surface, the machine should be wiped with a lint free rage and
Simple Green or Formula 2001. (AutoCrib suggests Formula 2001)
- Windows
o The Plexiglas viewing windows should be cleaned with Windex or a different type of window cleaner.
o DO NOT USE any other product on the windows as it may scratch or stain the window surface.
- Keyboard
o Clean the keyboard with a keyboard cleaner.
o DO NOT place any liquid into the keyboard. This may damage the internal workings of the keyboard.
o AutoCrib suggests cleaner be applied to a rag before wiping the keyboard.
- Touch Screen
o Wipe the screen with a clean, soft rag.
o 409 or a glass cleaner can be used on the rag.
o Never spray directly on the touch screen membrane. This could damage or short the membrane.
o Replaceable plastic screen covers are available to protect the glass
Hardware – After 30 Days
- Bin Doors
o Open every bin door using the LON command.
o Make sure the hinges and actuation systems are not binding up. If they are not working properly, make
the necessary adjustments to ensure free operation. Lubricate with WD40 to flush out contaminants and
eliminate binding.
- Door Solenoids:
o Inspect the door solenoid harness to ensure the wiring harness is not loose.
- Main Platter Chain
o The tension in the chain should have about a ½” of play.
o It is normal for the chain to stretch within the first thirty days. If the system is loaded with a large amount
of weight, the chain may stretch more.
o Tighten the adjuster bolt on the chain tensioner until you have the correct amount of play. Apply a Dry
Chain Lube to the chain.
