shorter intervals.
Machine maintenance is scheduled as follows:
- hourly bands (every 10 hours, 50 hours, 500 hours, 1000 hours, 1500 hours)
- regular intervals (daily, weekly, every 6 months, every 12 months, every 18 months)
Hourly bands and regular intervals are linked in the following way:
1) EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY
2) EVERY 50 HOURS OR WEEKLY
3) EVERY 500 HOURS OR 6 MONTHS
4) EVERY 1000 HOURS OR 12 MONTHS
5) EVERY 1500 HOURS OR 18 MONTHS
The operator must perform ordinary machine maintenance in relation to which of the 2 situations (hourly or interval) occurs first.
All maintenance operations must be performed in a cyclic manner. At each maintenance interval, also carry out the operations
described in the previous intervals. For instance, every 1,000 hours, also carry out the maintenance operations foreseen at
500, 50 and 10 hour intervals. The 5 scheduled maintenance bands, indicated in the table below, will be described in further
detail in the following paragraphs.
