Maintenance ES 50 – ES 80
The maintenance intervals must be decided individually as they are dependent on the frequency of
use. We recommend maintenance at least once every six months. The springs are designed for
250,000 cycles.
1. Check the spring assembly. In case of faulty springs all springs must be replaced at once.
2. Check the spring tension (45°).
3. Check everything for mechanical damage and replace where necesary.
4. Check that the boom reaches the horizontal and vertical positions. If necessary re-adjust the limit
switches and the mechanical stoppers.
5. Ensure that the potential earthing cable is still connected to the housing and to the door.
6. Check that the operating instructions are complete.
7. Check that all safety equipment works correctly. (Loops, photo-cells, and the reversal on
obstruction.)
8. Check that the barrier is still secure on the foundation.
9. Using a grease gun, grease the bearings of the main shaft (grease must be suitable for –25°C to
+125°C).
10. Oil the emergency release bolt and check the function.
11. Check that the pre-determined breaking point has the correct nuts and bolts (use vandalism set
only).
12. Tighten screws where necessary.
