7. ViX Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
ViX drive systems do not require any routine maintenance, but occasional checking of the
following points is recommended.
Motor inspection
Periodically check the motor to ensure that the mounting bolts and couplings are tight.
Check that the motor cables are not being damaged by moving parts and are not being
pulled or forced into tight bends during machine operation. Check all cable connectors and
particularly the safety earth connection.
Drive inspection
Check that the drives are clear of loose material and that there is adequate clearance to
allow a free flow of air through the ventilation slots. Check that drive fixings are tight and that
the motor screen connection is secure.
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT NOTE - ensure that power is turned off before any connections are
removed or changed. Removing a drive with power applied can turn a recoverable fault
situation into a major problem.
WARNING – Risk of damage and/or personal injury
The ViX drives described in this user guide contain no user-serviceable parts.
Attempting to open the case of any unit, or to replace any internal component, may
result in damage to the unit and/or personal injury. This may also void the warranty.
