3.1 System maintenance
3.1.1 Introduction
The following section is designed to offer assistance for your planned
maintenance schedule. It may become evident that the suggested mainte-
nance intervals can be shortened or extended to accommodate your local
environmental conditions.
Maintenance of the FlexLink conveyor systems should only be carried out
by competent persons, who are familiar with FlexLink equipment. If there
is any doubt as to the most suitable procedure for maintenance, consult
your FlexLink supplier.
3.1.2 Non FlexLink equipment
Equipment and components which are not from the FlexLink family of
products should be maintained and serviced in accordance with their re-
spective manufacturer’s instructions.
3.1.3 Safety considerations
• Before starting any maintenance on your FlexLink equipment, the
following safety instructions must be observed:
• All electricity must be switched off.
• Make sure that the motor switch is also switched off and locked
in the “off” position.
• Pneumatic and/or hydraulic power must be disconnected and any
pressure accumulation released.
• Products being transported should be, if possible, removed from
the conveyor chain.
• Staff affected must be informed that maintenance work is being
undertaken.
