6. Maintenance

The Schellenberg Maxi Standard 40 Tubular Motor is designed to be maintenance-free. Its robust construction and low-wear components ensure reliable operation without the need for regular servicing.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Keep the area around the roller shutter and motor clean and free from obstructions.
• Avoid applying excessive force to the roller shutter when operating it manually (if applicable).
• Do not attempt to open or repair the motor yourself. Refer to qualified personnel for any issues.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Schellenberg tubular motor, consider the following common problems and solutions:

Motor Not Responding:

• Check Power Supply: Ensure the motor is receiving power. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Wiring: Confirm that all electrical connections are secure and correctly wired. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
• Overload Protection: The motor has thermal overload protection. If it has been running continuously for an extended period (e.g., more than 4 minutes), it may have temporarily shut down to prevent overheating. Allow it to cool down for several minutes before attempting operation again.

Roller Shutter Stops Incorrectly or Not at All:

• Limit Switch Adjustment: The mechanical limit switches may need re-adjustment. Refer to the 'Installation Guide' section and the detailed manual for the precise adjustment procedure. Ensure the adjustment tool is used correctly.
• Obstructions: Check for any physical obstructions in the roller shutter's path that might be preventing it from moving freely or reaching its limits.
• Shaft Issues: Ensure the roller shutter shaft is not damaged or warped, which could impede smooth movement.

Unusual Noises During Operation:

• While the motor is designed to be quiet, unusual grinding or squeaking noises may indicate an issue with the roller shutter itself (e.g., worn bearings, misaligned slats) rather than the motor. Inspect the roller shutter system for any mechanical problems.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Schellenberg customer support or a qualified technician.
