Monthly inspection and maintenance:
1. Check all Indicator lights and replace bulbs if not operable.
2. Cycle all monitor functions (left, right, up, down, straight, and fog) to insure that complete
system is fully functional.
ATTENTION: When cycling the monitor through the motions (up, down, left and right),
be sure to exercise the system a minimum of 2 (two) complete cycles. This will help move the grease
inside the monitor for better coverage and long time use/durability.
Six-month inspection and maintenance:
1. Grease monitor ball races through grease fittings located at each swivel joint.
Recommended grease for Industrial SPITFIRE Monitors is MOBILITH SHC – 100, High
Performance Synthetic Grease. Temperature range: -40º F (-26º C) to 400º F (250º C) or
equal. Greasing procedures are as follows:
a. In the lower grease fitting apply approximately 5-7 pumps of grease.
b. In the upper grease fitting apply approximately 2-3 pumps of grease.
2. Check motor control cables for wear and connectors for damage.
3. Check motor cables for binding through full movement of monitor and nozzle.
4. Check all painted surfaces for chips or scratches and repaint as required.
5. Visually check all electrical equipment in control boxes.
WARNING : Do not attempt to disconnect or work on any electrical equipment
in this system unless power is removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
