Frequently asked questions
Does every service require replacing parts?
No. Condition, operating environment and the manufacturer schedule should be considered together.
Can I do maintenance myself?
Basic cleaning and visual checks are often suitable for users; electrical, gas, high-voltage, pressurised or safety-critical work may require a professional.
Is time or usage more important?
Both matter. Heavy use, dust, humidity, heat or long storage can bring maintenance forward.
