6- Maintenance
Cable and connection:
The cable and plug must be in good condition at all times. Check them regularly.
Power switch:
Check that the machine's switch is released automatically by releasing pressure applied by your fingers. In case
of malfunction, call the Virax technical department.
Carbons:
Check carbon wear regularly. Carbons must be changed when they have lost 1/3 of their original length. To
change the carbons, contact the Virax technical department.
Threading heads:
Check the head to be used has no damaged combs, as this may have a severe impact on threading quality. The
combs should be void of chipping to achieve high quality threading and longer machine lifetime.
Gear box:
Every 500 hours operation, call the Virax technical department to change the grease.
Vice:
Check the condition of the vice jaw. Change it if the tube slides.
