9-2 Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance
WARNING! CAUTION!
Any maintenance or servicing not included in this section must be performed by a
trained service technician.
Following a routine maintenance schedule can prevent part degradation and ensure high quality
performance for every production run. There are several simple procedures you can perform on a regular
basis to ensure quality dispensing and optimize system performance.
The maintenance schedule for the X-1000 Series Dispensing System is predicated on normal operation.
The category, interval, and instructions for maintenance are summarized in Table 9-1.
? NOTE The recommendations are for systems operating in a 24-hour, 7-days a week production
environment. Except for the daily and weekly requirements, maintenance for single-shift
operations may be performed at less frequent intervals.
TIP You may want to perform a visual inspection in conjunction with a scheduled
maintenance shutdown to optimize your preventive maintenance effort. It is
recommended that you keep records of dispensing system wear characteristics unique to
your production methods. These records can then be used for planning purposes.
