7. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
7.1 Maintenance
7.1.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Approximately every 2 years:
Under normal operating conditions, the F02 is maintenance-free: no actuator maintenance is
formally required, even though visual inspection for grease leakage or external visible
damages is recommended every two years. When conditions are severe (frequent operation
or high temperatures), replace all seals that allow grease leakage or water inlet.
Important: Before starting any maintenance operation, make sure that
the mains and all other service voltage connected to the
terminal board are switched-off.
The following checks will assure optimum performance:
- Make sure there are no grease leaks from the actuator housing.
- Check the external parts for possible damage and replace them immediately, if necessary.
In case the window glass is broken, the complete cover must be replaced (see Chapter 9
for individual item numbers).
- Repaint all areas where paint is missing. In chemically aggressive or saline environments,
remove rust from surfaces and protect with a rust preventative.
- Check that all nuts and bolts securing the actuator to the valve are tight. If necessary, re-
tighten with a dynamometric key.
- For severe applications or if actuator operation is infrequent, perform maintenance checks
more often.
7.1.2 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
In case of actuator failure, please refer to Section “Trouble shooting”, Chapter 7.2, for
possible causes.
Spare parts can be required from BIFFI: please refer to the individual item number shown in
Chapter 8.
In case of malfunction in the mechanical / electronic components, in case of grease leaks
through the seals or in case of scheduled preventive maintenance, the actuator must be
disassembled: any damaged parts can be requested from BIFFI with reference to the
attached exploded view drawings and parts lists.
It is essential that for every component to be required from BIFFI the Serial Number of the
actuator together with the item number of the component are indicated in the request.
Important: After maintenance works a few operations must be
performed to make sure that movement is regular and there
is no grease leakage through the seals.
Note: Special maintenance is also recommended when, during operations, the actuator
generates an excessive noise.
