Vll. Maintenance
As REMA TIP TOP vulcanizing machines are very reliable, thanks to their construction and the high quality of their parts and
materials, they have long intervals between servicing.
For safety and warranty reasons, damaged machine parts should immediately be replaced by original REMA TIP TOP spare
parts. Any work on electric components as well as any work which exceeds maintenance work has to be carried out only by a
specialist!
Maintenance schedule

Vlll. Trouble shooting
In case of malfunction which cannot be determined precisely, disconnect the machine from the mains and the compressed air
supply at once, make sure that it cannot be put into operation again, and have the trouble shooting and the repair done by a
specialist.
Have any work on parts relevant to safety, e.g. electric parts, pneumatic cylinders, etc. done only by a qualified specialist.
Trouble
