Chapter 6. Ordinary maintenance
6.1. Precautions for ordinary maintenance interventions
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED, APPROPRIATELY TRAINED STAFF.
Before proceeding to maintenance, switch the machine off and disconnect it by operating on the
master switch and wait for the machine to cool down!
It is recommended to use protection gloves during maintenance operations!
Before removing the case 9 (figure 1.3 page 15), never forget as follows:
if the machine was powered off at least 1 hour ago, the central welding device may still be hot
enough to represent a burning danger.
6.2. Wear check and levels
Check as follows at regular intervals:
the wear and tension of driving belts 1 (figure
A)
the oil level of the balancing tank 4.
Move the pliers carriages up to their stroke
end to check the actual oil level as it is shown
by the arrow of figure A.
it is recommended to use the oil of an ISO 32
hidraulic type.
the tension of the chain intended to support
the pushers 2 (figure B).
Act as follows to provide for its adjustment:
loosen the V6 screws from both sides
(figure B)
unscrew the V7 tie rod to pull the chain
(figure C).
6.3. Machine cleaning
Check as follows at regular intervals:
use a cloth to clean the machine after having dipped it into water
use a soft cloth to clean the welding blades of pliers carefully
clean the slide guides of the pliers carriages every day. Remove any incrustation and use a very thin oil (of a
hydraulic type) to lubrificate them
clean the belt and remove any film residual which have hardened.
