9. Technical service
The extremely reliable function of CYPRES is
based on 4 facts: exclusive use of carefully pre-
treated and approved parts, strict detailed manu-
facturing procedures, continuous quality control
and monitoring through the manufacturing pro-
cess, and regular periodic technical service (main-
tenance). 4 and 8 years after the original date of
manufacture, maintenance procedures according
to the manufacturers guidelines are necessary.
There are 4 primary reasons for the maintenance:
1. Deviations between nominal and actual values
are corrected to ideal values. Every detail is
observed. It is common that signs of wear and
tear are corrected and sometimes even ‘cos-
metic’ treatment is done.
2. The technical condition of each unit is ana-
lyzed. The fact that a very high percentage of
units are returned for the periodic maintenance
gives the ability to see statistical trends and
to predict potential problems at a very early
stage. The advantage: often it’s possible to
prevent situations by modications during the
maintenance procedures, rather than having to
x problems with downtime later.
3. Experience shows that during a period of 4
years, changes and improvements do hap-
pen. Applicable updates are performed dur-
ing maintenance. Such updates may have the
background of technical improvements, or en-
hancement of knowledge, or may result from
environmental changes or changes in the sport
(e.g. new disciplines), which Airtec is always
researching and taking into consideration.
4. The most important part of the maintenance is
the individual pre-adjustment of each unit for
the next 4 years. A unit will not be returned be-
fore a high condence level is reached regard-
ing the prediction of the unit’s proper function
for the next 4 years.
