GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CASTERS

Some casters are equipped with Zerk grease fittings so that they may be easily lubricated with a grease gun.
Recommended lubrication is at least once every six months. Lubrication will be required more frequently if carts
are cleaned with a hot water or steam cleaning system. Casters with special bearings are recommended for fre-
quent cart wash or steam cleaning situations.

LATCHES

Check frequently to insure that all door latches are secure. Latches may become “sticky” due to residue build-up
from daily use and cleaning. Lubricate latches regularly with WD-40, silicone spray, graphite or other commercial
lubricants for stainless steel products. Do not use oil.

PERIMETER BUMPERS

Vinyl which has been dislodged from the channel due to severe bumping or scraping can be pried back into
place with a common screwdriver.

CONTROLLER MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance is not required. A periodic check of the system calibration is recommended. The controller
is not field serviceable. Call for service if repair is needed.
