The Manual Battery Tugger is one of Carney’s most sought-after solutions for small-scale battery management. This simple battery-handling solution offers reliable performance and is built to last. However, like any equipment, it requires regular maintenance.
Here are a few maintenance tips and safety guidelines to keep you and your BTM safe and operating smoothly.
Maintenance Tips
1. Give it a once over! Start with a quick visual check. Look for damage or missing parts; catching minor issues early saves big headaches later!
2. Add grease! Lubricate the unit’s bearings every 750 hours and its chains every 250 hours to keep things moving smoothly. A little grease goes a long way!
3. Tighten it up! Check all fasteners and drive mounts to ensure everything is snug and secure. Loose parts mean trouble down the road.
4. Clean for the win! A simple wipe-down with a non-abrasive cleaner keeps your unit looking great and running even better. Clean machines are happy machines.
5. Safety first! After maintenance, don’t forget to secure all covers and guards.
Safety Guidelines
2. Mind your hands & feet! Lubricate bearings every 750 hours and chains every 250 hours to keep things moving smoothly. A little grease goes a long way!
3. Check before you work! Before operating the BTM, do a quick inspection to ensure all guards and covers are in place. Are there missing parts? Fix them before starting.
4. Lift and load the right way! Never exceed the recommended load weight, and ensure the load is secure before moving. Unbalanced loads can be dangerous.
5. Stay on solid ground! Be careful of slip hazards in the work area. Keep floors clean and dry to prevent accidents while moving heavy loads.
