Chapter 10 - Preventive Maintenance
This equipment contains a potential hazard of electric shock or burn. Only
adequately trained persons who are thoroughly familiar with the equipment
and the instructions should maintain this equipment.
To prevent electric shock while servicing the equipment, personnel must
understand and follow all safety requirements for working around
dangerous voltages.
When de-energizing and re-energizing the drive, refer to the procedures in
Figures 10-1 and 10-2.
10.1 Introduction
Periodic preventive maintenance extends equipment-operating life and minimizes
downtime. This involves specific power-on and more intensive power-off checks,
when permitted. With both checks, necessary repairs should be undertaken
when needed.
10.2 Maintenance Schedule
For maximum benefit, preventive maintenance needs to be performed at
scheduled intervals by a qualified technician. The required frequency for each
procedure depends on:
• How much the equipment is used
• Ambient environmental conditions
The schedule should include an inspection of wiring and components before re-
applying power after an overcurrent trip.
10.3 Maintenance Record
Gefran recommends that the customer keep a detailed record of maintenance
(such as a logbook) for every drive. This record serves two purposes:
• It verifies that all equipment is routinely checked
• It aids troubleshooting and prevention of equipment failure by providing a
history of equipment maintenance and problems
10.4 Equipment/Material Needed
The equipment and material in the following checklists should be available to
perform the recommended procedures.
10.5 Safety Equipment
• Safety gear (safety boots, safety glasses, hard-hat, high voltage gloves,
face shield)
• High voltage ac/dc detector (using an insulated pole of appropriate length)
• Locks and tags, danger and caution tape
• Protective grounding cables and grounding stick
• Static-charge wrist straps
