INSPECTION
At least once per year, the equipment should be taken out of service, stripped down and all moving
parts should be cleaned, greased and inspected for wear and damage. All cables must be
inspected for breaks and abrasion and must be well secured. All fastening devices should be
inspected for tightness. The rubber treads on the wheels should be checked for flat spots, gouges,
tears or signs of pealing from the wheel.
The tachometer feed-back encoder sensor assembly located on the back of the motor, should be
inspected for dirt accumulation and cleaned where necessary. It is common for the armature shaft
of a fatiguing motor to develop excessive axial float. This float sometimes causes the tachometer
feed-back sensor wheel to rub on one of the encoder sensor faces, causing damage and failure.
Check that the sensor disk is located centrally within the slot of the encoder sensor when the
armature shaft is pressed in and pulled out. Adjust as necessary. The frequency of this inspection
should increase with the accumulated use and or workload of the gear-motor.
NOTE: These inspections should be performed with greater frequency if conditions and usage
requires.
STORAGE
The Gullco "Kamel" power turning roll and or idler roll, should be kept in a dry environment with no
possibility of impact or damage due to stacking of heavy objects on top of the equipment. The drive
tension of the power turning rolls should be totally relieved when storing the turning roll. Failure to
do this may result in flat spots on the rubber wheels, which will require replacing.
SHIPPING
When shipping the Gullco "Kamel" power turning roll, the tension of the drive system should be
totally relieved. There should be sufficient room around the perimeter of the shipping box to allow
packing to be placed to help protect susceptible parts from being damaged in shipping.
