Crush Guard - Installation - Genie ALC500/ALC1000 Maintenance
The components of the Crush Guard require periodic checks and maintenance to be
performed to ensure it remains in good working order.
Clean the Magnetic Anchor
The magnetic anchor can accumulate metallic debris. If too much debris accumulates
around the magnet, the magnetic release may not function. If too much debris
accumulates on the surface of the magnet, it may not correctly anchor the wire rope
causing the system to remain in alarm.
Wipe material away from the magnet using a clean cloth.
Lubricate Wire
The wire rope running inside the two 90 degree pipes needs to be lubricated. If there is
too much friction between the wire and the pipes, it can effect the tension in the wire
rope, preventing the rope switch from resetting properly once triggered.
Release the magnetic anchor and spray CRC Dry Glide through the 90 degree pipes to
lubricate the wire.
Adjust Wire Rope Tension
The wire rope is attached to a wire rope switch. If the right amount of tension is not
applied to the wire rope switch, the system will alarm.
To adjust the wire rope tension, first remove the bolt holding the right rubber cover and
pull the rubber cover onto the blue hose to access the tension marker on the rope
switch.
Locate the magnetic anchor on the left side of the frame, release the M5 nut on top of
the magnet to allow the magnet to move along the eyebolt shaft. Adjust the position of
the M5 nylock nut on the end of the eyebolt shaft, until the tension marker on the rope
switch is in the position as shown in the picture below.
Once the adjustments have been completed, secure the top M5 nut on the magnet and
reattach the right rubber cover.
Cleaning the Crush Guard
The Crush Guard can be hand cleaned using a cloth and standard cleaning solutions.
If any of the maintenance instructions above are unclear or for further information, please contact an EQSS representative.
Do Not High Pressure Wash. This may cause water ingression, which will damage the electrical components inside.
