7 MAINTENANCE SECTION

Proper maintenance will keep your Wood Runner working efficiently and minimize any downtime.
Maintenance procedures are simple and require very little time.

7.1 DAILY

 Inspect all safety guarding to make sure it is in place and fasteners are tight. Repair if
problems are found.
 Check the safety system for proper function - blocking the Light Curtain or pushing the E-
stop button should cause the air system to exhaust. Repair any problem found before
operating.
 Test the Gantry brake system for proper operation by breaking the Light Curtain beam
when the Gantry is moving. The stopping distance recorded during the stop is displayed on
the manual screen. This distance should be 20" or less. Repair the brake system
immediately if the value is over 20". Failure to do so may result in machine damage or injury
or death.

 Listen for air leaks while the system is energized.
 Any unusual noises while operating should be investigated immediately.
 Remove any debris that has accumulated in the cable carrier channel or on the Runway
wheel path or other parts of the machine.
