Inspection

Although the system is designed to operate with no full time attendant, routine maintenance must be undertaken to ensure the system’s continuous operation.  Routine preventative maintenance needs to be provided by the owner along with back up service and inspections by a qualified service technician. The preventative maintenance is divided between daily, weekly and monthly procedures. The daily inspections only takes a few minutes, it is very important that someone provides a quick visual inspection to identify potential issues before they occur. Weekly inspects should only take 15 minutes, once again this will help with identifying issues before they create a larger issue. Monthly inspections including greasing of bears are needed to extend the life of your equipment.

Galaxy Associates employ a team of qualified trained service technicians that provide preventative maintenance checks on every visit. They also perform all repairs necessary to maintain the system. The service technicians inventory numerous spare parts on their service vehicles; if additional parts are needed they are shipped directly to the site from our warehouse.

Below is a list of routine maintenance that will assure that your system operates effectively on a daily basis.
