Somat SPC50 - Periodic Maintenance and Inspection

35
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Time intervals cited are based on normal use of the SOMAT

unit; averaging use of six hours per day, seven days
per week. Equipment operating more than this will require more frequent inspection/maintenance. Particular
attention should be paid to cutting blades and grinding teeth as these will sustain the highest degree of wear.
Continued adherence to these inspections will provide adequate lead time when ordering spare parts, minimizing
unnecessary and costly equipment downtime.
