Things to do before going to the device usage area:
- General control of its physical structure; whether any bolts and nuts are missing or loose.
- Checking battery charge level with battery indicator.
- Checking whether the remote control is working or not.
- Checking that the remote control and trap device serial numbers match.
- Checking parts, such as carrying arms and wheels, are in normal condition.
- Checking whether the rubber feet are in place.
- Operating status control; turning the device on and off once for testing.
While the device is turned on and in a stable position at the duty station:
- Checking if the front cover is open.
- Checking for any extraneous matter or obstructive element entering through the cover.
- Checking whether the device’s start button is at “AÇIK” (ON) position.
- Checking of the device’s ideal distance, which is 35 meters.
- In case the device is turned on; checking whether there is an obstacle in the opening direction of the trap-scissor.
Once the device is turned on and off (Post Operation):
- Checking whether stones, soil or anything that may prevent use, has entered inside the device body.
- Replacement of trap-scissors; if there is deformation in the trap-scissor assembly.
- Replacement of the nail and its tool, if missing or deformed.
- Visual inspection of the mechanical part by opening the covers and maintaining it with a dirt-rust cleaner spray. (CAUTION should be taken to avoid hand contact or placing hands between the mechanisms.)
- Checking that the nails on the trap-scissor are in a solid position, and strengthening those that are bent or loose.
- Checking the physical appearance of the trap-scissor system and the “end guide wheel” on the edge of trap-scissor.
- Checking the device’s on-off operation once with safety measurements taken, after the relevant maintenance.
Regular Seasonal Maintenance of the Device:
- General checking of the device needs to be done on seasonal transition periods, at least twice a year.
- Checking physical appearance and nails on trap-scissor.
- Checking whether there is any damage on the “end guide wheel” and trap-scissor elements.
- Lightly lubricating the connection pins of the scissors with maintenance spray.
- Battery life control with the device’s battery charging time and battery charge rate (Checking if the battery is discharged shortly after charging or its energy capacity is inefficient)
- The ideal battery charging time is 6 hours.
- Caution should be taken not to deform the serial number label on the device remote control.
- Checking carrying handles, velcro straps and rubber feet.
- General cleaning of the internal mechanism and checking the condition of parts such as cables.
- Checking that the mechanism opens and closes normally once without scissors.
- Device mechanism rail-car cleaning and lubrication.
- Checking battery indicator panel and on-off switch on control unit.
- Checking the remote’s battery, on-off button and operating buttons.
- Checking condition of protective device camouflage poncho.
- While maintaining the device; when the bolt and nut are checked with the help of a wrench caution must be taken to avoid damaging both the nuts and bolts and the operating settings of the device by applying excessive force.
