Maintenance and repair Maintenance and repair 8.1 General notes The EPS system is almost maintenance-free. Nevertheless, some maintenance work must be carried out to ensure an optimum operating condition of the EPS. EPS systems are high-performance devices with very short cycle times. The service life of the units depends mainly on the ambient conditions and maintenance.
Observe the specified maintenance and care intervals. The intervals refer to a normal operating environment. If the system is to be operated in an environment with abrasive dusts or corrosive or aggressive vapours, gases or liquids, the approval of Afag must be obtained in advance. 8.3.1 Overview of the maintenance points Fig.
