Maintenance
5.1.
Introduction
The purpose of preventative maintenance is to prevent service calls. These visits provide an
opportunity to inspect the machines. This inspection includes, but is not limited to, looking for the
following items:
•
••
• Any sign of abnormal wear or rubbing of components
•
••
• Fluids that are leaking or dripping
•
••
• Loose screws anywhere in or on the machine
•
••
• Any evidence of arcing or chaffing of cables and electrical components
•
••
• Any evidence of attempted forced entry
•
••
• Any item missing from its proper location such as a roller or a cover
•
••
• Any foreign objects in the machine
If you notice any abnormality or trend that could cause a machine failure, correct the item when
possible. Notify your supervisor. To prevent the machine from becoming damaged or going out of
service, Envipco can evaluate the problem and recommend corrective actions.
Cleaning the machine is very important. Dirt and syrup are not only unattractive, but they can also
interfere with machine operation. Use hot water to remove dirt and melt the syrup. Do not use a
water hose in the upper cabinet around the electrical components or sensitive equipment. This may
cause a component failure and may result in electrical shock.
Note:
P
reventative maintenance takes approximately 30-60 minutes per
machine if it is done regularly.
