The maintenance of industrial machinery is important since it offers greater

safety to operators and also helps the machines have a longer life. One of the main
reasons why heavy machinery must be maintained is because it allows various faults to
be identified before the machine is used and puts the operator at risk. It also allows
failures to be detected before they show up at work.
Carrying out visual inspections on the machine, before and after use, is essential
to detect problems and solve them in time.
Use the correct type of lubricant according to the manufacturer's
specifications, to avoid wear and friction on the moving parts of the machine.
Replace parts subject to constant wear before their poor condition affects the
performance of the machine.
