This system is easy to maintain and will deliver many years of operations.
We are proposing the actions required in time in a table at the end of the document.
To begin, components location will be showed with description explanations related
with maintenance.
Furthermore, detailed actions required to perform on each of the sub components.

1 FLEXIBLE CABLE CARRIER MAINTENANCE
This is important to keep the base clean where the cable carrier is moving to avoid early
abrasion of the plastic links, also visual inspection for broken covers or links to be
replaced.
The articulated cable carrier is a flexible conduit that contains the electrical cables, gas
lines and connectors required between the welding carriage and the main positioner.
1.1How to replace damaged covers and broken links
1. To raise the lids of the Cable track
management system, insert a flat
screwdriver in the appropriate hole
(see picture) and pull down at each
extremity of the lid.
2. Pull down at each extremity of the
lid
3. For removing a section raise at least 3 lids and remove two of them.

4. Insert flat screwdriver in the side
panel between the two sections and
push carefully to the outside and pull
out the two sections from each other.
5. Push carefully to the outside
6. Pull out the two sections from each
other.
7. For the installation of the flange, raise 3 lids and remove 2 of them.

8. To insert the flange in the chain, insert one side at the time. Make sure the
sections are correctly inserted.

Flange lids
Note:
We have included with the Nylatube 12
regular and 2 flange spare lids. You
have two different lids. The one without
the little ears is the one for the flange
and the other one is for the regular
chain.

2. TRACK SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Keep the surface of the track system clean, use a broom, compress air or vacuum. This
assure the welding carriage and pipe stands can move along the tracks smoothly.
2.1 Chain for motorization maintenance
Validation of the chain tension, we put the carriage at a certain distance of the end of the
track and we determine an amount play we suggest.

3. WELDING CARRIAGE MAINTENANCE
3.1 Water cooler maintenance
3.1.1 Routine maintenance
1. Remove accumulated dust and dirt from the internal components of the cooler by
blowing it out with a low-pressure air hose or removing the dust and dirt with a
vacuum hose.
Validate if the fans are operating
3.1.2 Reservoir coolant level
The reservoir volume should be checked monthly.
1. Remove the reservoir fill cap and check the coolant level. The reservoir is full
when the coolant level is just below the reservoir fill opening. Keep the reservoir
full, especially after disconnecting the water lines or changing the accessory
being cooled.
3.1.3 Clean or replace the pump inlet strainer
Warning
The pump head has a "built in" strainer on the inlet side of the pump. It is
recommended to clean or replace the pump inlet strainer at least once a year.
1. Drain coolant from the reservoir and open the case of the water cooler.
