MAINTENANCE of FORCE 50 & FORCE 80
We recommend that the electric
motors be inspected by opening
the motor covers once per
month. The purpose of this is to
ensure that there is no water or
moisture build up in the motor
enclosures (which could be
caused by a loose connector). If
there is moisture, dry it
thoroughly and be sure to connect the connector securely to prevent further exposure. The
motors are not very sensitive to water, but checking once-in-a-while is good precaution.
We also recommend that the multi connectors be inspected for water and/or signs of
corrosion. As a precaution, the connectors should be sprayed with WD40 one per year.
For the INTEG nozzle we recommend that the rotating
stream shaper be cleaned and lubricated with
WD40 once per month, as this may be exposed
to air, dirt and grime.
In stow position, the INTEG nozzle should be set
to wide-spray (i.e., retracted), and the nozzle
should face downwards. This will ensure that the
stream shaper fully protected from dirt, salt, dust or ice, and well greased at all times, and
will ensure proper drainage of the nozzle when stowed.
We recommend that the FORCE monitor be externally cleaned from time to time and when
dirty. Clean with any cleaning agent and water, as with standard pieces of machinery.
Because the FORCE monitor is made of polished (no surface treatment) 316L stainless steel,
it can always be machine polished to look fantastic.
The worm gears are filled with grease and hermetically sealed off with nitril X-rings. This
means no dirt or water get into the gears. No air circulation will dry out the rubber seals.
This is normally a maintenance free unit.
The worm gears must normally never be greased. We recommend not ever greasing
the gears unless specifically recommended to do so by Unifire AB on an individual, case-by-
case basis. If Unifire recommends greasing, then be sure to follow Unifire’s instructions,
including by using the proper type of grease (Mobilith SHC460) and make sure to open the
grease evacuation plug (part 26 on the drawing). Using the wrong type of grease may cause
fatal damage to the mechanics or block the movement.
