Mechanical Maintenance
Before checking the internal mechanisms of the operator, turn off all power switches.
The SwingSmart mechanical maintenance is not in depth or difficult, but should be performed on a routine
basis. The operator chassis is zinc plated, but some environments may speed corrosion of this plating.
Schedule regular maintenance and look for the following:
• Assess that the drive belt has the proper tension. Check for drive belt wear. Fraying edges or missing teeth
indicate that the drive belt needs to be replaced. Refer to Drive Belt Tension and Alignment.
• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are found, reduce the spread of corrosion by treating the areas
with a rust inhibitor.
• Check the motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes which wear over time and must be replaced. Failure
to replace the brushes will result in damage to the DC motor. Brushes should be inspected every year in
high usage applications or every 100,000 cycles and replaced as needed.
• Replace worn-out batteries. Refer to DC Battery Replacement and Clock Battery Replacement.
