Users
This Maintenance and Repair document is exclusively aimed at trained and
qualified personnel who are responsible for the technical support and servic-
ing of the component.
Series of documents
Prior to servicing, personnel must also have read and understood the informa-
tion contained in the following documents:
• Technical manual
• Spare parts lists
• Layout of electrical components and circuit diagrams for the system and
for the lifter
• Manufacturer's documentation on individual subcomponents
Figures
The figures contained in this document are standard illustrations. Some minor
differences may occur for custom installations. For the sake of clarity, in this
document the safety devices of system components have been in part left out.

Notes on servicing
General
The contractually agreed warranty does not exempt the owner or warehouse
operating company of a KNAPP system from the necessity and obligation of
carrying out regular preventive maintenance and servicing after system
startup.
The check lists for servicing work provide an overview of the necessary steps
to be taken and the required frequency.
• Do not waste time trying to solve complex problems that require specialist
knowledge. KNAPP provides fast, professional support if required.
• Carry out maintenance, inspection and cleaning as well as checks for
wear at the defined intervals.
• Always keep your system supplied with the necessary spare parts.
KNAPP recommends that only original KNAPP spare parts be used. This
is essential for maintaining the value of the system. KNAPP does not pro-
vide warranty for any parts not supplied by KNAPP.
Important
The inspection intervals specified in this document are based
on a two-shift operation, five days a week.
Inspection intervals must be adapted accordingly for one or
three-shift operation.
Streamline Lifter V1
Reference data
The following tables provide an overview of the reference values (two-shift
operation) and comparative values (one or three-shift operation) for the
inspection.

DANGER
Accessing the area underneath the carriage poses danger to
life.
Always secure the carriage against falling before starting any
work at the lifter.
DANGER
Accessing the carriage poses risk of falling.
Keep off the carriage.
The lifter is not suitable for passenger transportation.
DANGER
Electric shock poses danger to life.
After switching off using the main switch on the frequency
converter, work may only be carried out on electrical compo-
nents after the discharge time of the intermediate circuit has
been observed.
The intermediate circuit discharge time is indicated on the
frequency converter and is stated in the manufacturer's
documentation.
DANGER
Electric shock poses danger to life.
The main switch on the frequency converter only de-energizes
the components of the lifter.
For servicing work, always disconnect and isolate the conveyor
lines and the conveyor section separately at the system area
switch cabinet (see layout of electrical components for the
system).
WARNING
Risk of injury through improper work.
Familiarize yourself with the operating conditions and the
conveyor system before starting servicing work.
WARNING
Moving parts are crushing hazards.
Do not reach into the work area of the lifter when it is running.
Streamline Lifter V1
• If the system has not automatically deactivated and switched off all com-
ponents and sub-areas, these must be deactivated and switched off
before starting servicing.
• Servicing may only be carried out by trained, authorized and qualified per-
sonnel.
• Use signs to indicate that servicing is in progress.
• Always switch off the motor using the main switch located at the lifter fre-
quency converter, and lock out power before starting any servicing work
to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent starting.
• Before replacing heavy spare parts, check whether further auxiliary
equipment and personnel are needed for safety purposes.
• Before replacing spare parts, ensure that the spare parts are available
and accessible.
• Before undertaking any servicing on the OSR, ensure that the system or
components cannot start accidentally or uncontrolledly while work is
being carried out.
• Only qualified electricians may carry out work on live parts.
• All available safety devices must be checked at regular intervals of six
months and following any servicing work. The regulations in the manufac-
turer's documentation must be observed.
• Safety devices may only be deactivated by trained and authorized per-
sonnel for the purpose of carrying out maintenance. Before enabling nor-
mal mode, the safety devices must be re-activated and their functions
must be checked.
• All safety devices must be correctly mounted after completing servicing
work.
• Do not exceed the maximum limit load of 35 kg per load unit for the lifter.
• Immediately replace damaged or illegible limit load signs.
