Same as the roof panel machine maintenance, there are some best items to keep in mind that will help to improve your seamless gutter roll forming machine working life, and the quality of your work. If you’re using your portable gutter roll forming machine every day, keep good habits of inspecting your machine weekly and keeping it cleaned can help ensure a long-working machine.

Common best operation to keeping your gutter machine in long-working condition includes:

inspecting gutter machine, keep the forming machine clean and free of debris and dust. This helps ensure that the rollers won't be affected by dirt, and that material won’t get damaged. This allows for better performance by your machine.
Avoid storing the machine outdoors for long periods. Cover it with a tarp but make sure there’s enough ventilation to prevent condensation and rust.

Layout the gutter roll forming machine in indoor is better.

Inspect that all parts work on the correct the way and that nothing is damaged. Also, check for overwear on screws and bolts, as well as the turning of the free-moving rollers and bearings, to ensure smooth and proper operation.

Check for any fluid or oil leaks, either from hydraulic systems or if your machine is powered by gas.
Inspect fuses, batteries (if you have a gasoline engine), electrical connections, and controllers to make sure there are no shortages or wiring problems.
Make any necessary machine adjustments
Check chain tension. Chains on the seamless gutter machine should be just snug, not over-tightened or too loose. Over time the chains will wear down, so keeping them tightened is key to keeping everything working smoothly. Chains should have no tighter than 1/2” of play.

Seamless Gutter Roll Forming Machine Maintenance: Tips and Guidelines

For these seamless gutter machine maintenance guidelines, we’re going to use the manual for the Mach II 5”, 6” and 5”/6” combo machines. General maintenance actions are similar for all of the Xiamen Bogong Machinery portable gutter machines. For specifics, we always advise you to refer to your machine manual which will provide you the best instructions to take to maintain your equipment.
Remember, before doing any maintenance on your gutter machine:
Read and understand the machine manual before attempting to operate the machine.
Always keep guards, covers, and lids mounted to the machine during operation.
Observe and obey all safety and warning signs affixed to the machine.
Always adhere to and follow all local and national safety codes concerning the loading and unloading of reeled coils.
Use only properly rated devices for lifting reeled coils into or out of the reel stand assembly.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, etc. that could become entangled in moving parts of the machine when in operation.
Stop the machine and disconnect power before attempting to make any adjustments, perform any maintenance or changeover procedures.
Do not use solvents to clean drive rollers.

General maintenance items to perform on your metal sheet roll forming machines are as follows:

feeding material into the gutter machine, Always keep covers on during operation and storage. The covers are for operator safety, but they also protect the internal components of the machine from the environment.
Avoid storing the machine outdoors for long periods of time. Cover the machine with a tarp or machine cover (optional) for protection, and make sure to provide good ventilation to prevent condensation and rust.
Avoid storing or transporting the machine with metal material in the rollers or fed into the machine.
Keep the machine clean. This increases the life of the machine and makes maintenance easier, as well as provides a clean product.
Before operating the machine, visually inspect for foreign objects, debris, or anything unusual. If something doesn’t seem right, inspect and remedy before operation of the machine.
Keep chains properly tightly. This will add to the life of the chains and sprockets. The chains should be just snug. An over-tightened chain is just as bad for the machine as a loose chain.
Lubricate the chains a minimum of every 40 hours of operation, or when dry. It is preferable to use a dry motorcycle chain lube or equivalent.
Keep Entry Guide Carriage clean and lubricate as needed with Spray Lube.
Keep Cradles lubricated with Clear Grease.
Clean Forming Rollers as needed with a Scotch Brite Pad and a small amount of solvent.
Clean Drive Rollers with soap and water or mild solvent-free spray cleaner as needed. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents or damage will occur.
Lubricate both faces of the Shear Blades and Dies a minimum of once daily with Spray Lube. More should be added as needed before the cut edges begin to deteriorate
