NOTES:
A. Caution: When servicing, always
disconnect operator from electrical power
supply.
B. Severe or high cycle usage will require
more frequent maintenance checks.
C. Inspection and service should always be
performed anytime a malfunction is
observed or suspected.
D. Limit switches may have to be reset after
any major drive chain adjustments.
E. If lubrication chain, use only a proper
chain lub spray or a lightweight motor oil.
Never use grease or silicone spray.
F. When servicing, please do some “home
cleaning” of the operator an the area
around the operator. Pick up any debris in
the area. Clean the operator if needed.
G. It is suggested that while you are at the
site, you take some voltage readings of
the operator. Using a VOM, double check
the incoming voltage to the operator to
make sure it is within ten percent of the
operator’s rating.
H. While you are at the site, now would be a
good time to let the owner or manager
know about any new items available or
any safety items that could and should be
added to the site.
