ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
Electrical Controls
Before servicing, turn OFF all power
switches.
No roune maintenance is needed for the electrical system or controls. If the environment is very sandy
or dusty, or has many insects, be certain to seal all holes in the electrical enclosure. Blow the dust out of
the electric panel with compressed air. Use “Table 12. SmartDC Controller - Troubleshoong” on page
152 to assess and x error, alert and fault codes. If it is necessary to call a distributor for assistance, be
sure to have your model and serial number ready. Other helpful informaon includes the name of the job,
approximate date of installaon and the service record of the operator, especially any work that has been
done recently.
Mechanical Maintenance
Before checking the internal
mechanisms of the operator, turn OFF
all power switches.
The Kinec mechanical maintenance is not in-depth or dicult, but should be performed on a roune
basis. The operator chassis is zinc plated, but some environments may speed corrosion of this plang.
Schedule regular maintenance and look for the following:
• Verify 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”
on page 174�
• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are found, reduce the spread of corrosion by treang the
areas with a rust inhibitor.
• Check the motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes which wear over me 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 applicaons or every 100,000 cycles and replaced as needed.
• Replace worn-out baeries. Refer to “DC Baery Replacement” on page 176 and “Clock Baery
Replacement” on page 178�
