Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the periodic inspection, cleaning, and lubrication of the test
system. The following sections provide guidelines for preventive maintenance.
To ensure that the frame continues working at its optimal performance, it is recommended
that the machine receive an annual service check. Instron’s Service department can perform
this annual service, and replace any damaged or worn parts to ensure that your machine
operates to its stated specifications.
Instron offers many service agreements that provide a variety of services, including annual
service visits. Contact your local Instron office for details on a service agreement or contract
that best matches your needs.
Hazard - Only qualified personnel, trained to service Instron machines, should
perform all internal maintenance requirements.
Instron machines must operate within stringent specifications. In order to keep the
system working within the stated specifications, a professionally trained and qualified
technician must perform most maintenance procedures. If unqualified personnel
perform any maintenance procedures not described in this manual, the machine may not
perform to its stated specifications.
Hazard - Do not remove covers to any component of your system, unless it is
specified in a procedure.
There are dangerous voltages and rotating machinery inside the machine that may cause
bodily injury or damage to equipment.
