Ifthetoprailispoluted,therollerscanblockandthe
movable bulk head will no longer continue to move. Polution
also leads to faster wear of the rollers. Clean the top rail
twiceaweekwithanairgun.Ifdrydustyproductsare
transported, it is advisable to clean the track after each
unloading
Regularly check the condition of the rollers and brushes and
replace them if necessary.

theymustbereplaced.Ifthisisnotdone,theintegrated
aluminiumslidingprolewillwearoutquickly.
