Tech advances in every field make life and work easier, so electric roller shutters see more use. Users must care for the shutter to get the most from it and extend its life. Let’s look at the care points.
How to maintain an electric roller shutter:
The shutter is linked door slats driven by a motor unit in fixed tracks. It suits shop fronts, garages, factories, and homes, and helps where the opening is large, like garage doors, fire shutters, hangar doors, logistics warehouses.
a. In use, the operator should often check the manual switch and manual lift device, so the shutter does not fail or cause an accident in an emergency.
b. Keep the controller and voltage stable. Do not install in a very damp place. Do not open the remote at will. If you see wires tangled or knotted on the door, fix it. Watch for a blocked passage that stops the door; if odd sounds occur, stop the motor at once.
c. To avoid faults, check the up/down travel switch often, oil the travel controller, keep it running well. Manually control the shutter, check its run, and verify the up/down switch positions so the door stops in the right place. Guard against over-travel or reverse. In an emergency, stop and cut power.
d. Note: cleaning matters for smooth track run. Clean the track often, keep it clear inside. Oil the motor and drive chain often. Check the control box parts and switch box, tighten terminals and screws, clean dust off the box inside, its surface, and the buttons so a button does not stick and fail to rebound.
