Build the checklist from the supplied manual
A maintenance plan should identify the actual equipment, its documentation and the responsibilities of operators and technicians. Inspection points and service intervals depend on the supplied machine. Use the manufacturer’s instructions and the site’s approved procedures to create the plan.
Record routine observations
During normal operation, record information that can be observed without entering a guarded or hazardous area. Relevant observations may include material feeding, displayed operating information and changes in noise or vibration. Escalate abnormal conditions through the approved site procedure rather than improvising a repair.
Plan technician access and service
Checks that require opening equipment, accessing moving parts or performing electrical work belong to a qualified maintenance activity. The site’s isolation and access procedures and the supplied manual determine how this work is carried out. This guide is a planning checklist, not a machine-specific service instruction.
Keep useful maintenance records
- Equipment identification and the correct manual revision.
- Approved inspection and service schedules.
- Operator observations and actions taken.
- Parts replaced, service work completed and technician sign-off.
- Spare-part identifiers and supplier contact details.
Use Service & Support to discuss the documentation and spare-part support needed for your installation.
