3 MAINTENANCE
Do not attempt repairs unless you are trained and qualified.
This vehicle barrier can cause equipment damage and severe
injury if it is operated or maintained improperly.
3.1 Introduction
The Model 730 Series vehicle barriers are designed to be largely maintenance free. As
with any complex electromechanical device however, they must be regularly inspected to
ensure they are operating correctly. We recommend a simple monthly visual inspection
and a more thorough biannual inspection as described below. Please contact B&B ARMR
Technical Service Support for assistance with inspections, maintenance, or repairs if
needed.
Component damage is likely if a vehicle strikes the barrier. If this occurs, contact B&B
ARMR. We can help you assess the damage to make sure there is no hidden damage that
will compromise safety or effectiveness and help you determine which components
should be replaced.
3.2 Monthly Inspections
We recommend you perform the following visual inspections monthly on the barrier
system. An equipment maintenance log is supplied in the appendix to assist in the
logging.
Inspect the condition of the finish. If rust is present, wire brush and sand the
area then paint with a primer and a matching color.
Check oil for level, pressure, and condition in the HPU (Recommended oil:
Mobil EAL 224)
If oil is contaminated, report and replace immediately (Recommended oil:
Mobil EAL 224).
Check barrier for operation through normal cycles.
Adjust barrier speed to ensure proper operation.
During the opening and closing cycles, verify the barrier operates smoothly
and does not bind. Also verify that the barrier does not hit with excessive
force when it contacts its full-open or full-closed positions. If necessary,
adjust the barrier’s speed.
Check the hydraulic pumping unit for leaks at all points.
Visually inspect the operation and electrical contacts.
Tighten electrical contacts if required.
Check, adjust, and tighten all sensors (limit switches, proximity switches).
If applicable, check traffic lights and replace any burned bulbs or LEDs.
Check safety devices (loop, IR, etc.) for proper operation and report any
anomalies (if applicable).
Check the PLC for normal operation of all logic and functions.
