Tips to minimise downtime

Keep your M&R owner’s manuals handy.

Write the model name and serial number on the front cover of the manual.

Keep a small inventory of replacement parts.

If your shop is large enough to support a full-time mechanic, hire one.

If you are a smaller shop with a few automatic presses, it is still important to have someone on hand with some mechanical and electrical skills to help diagnose problems.

Consider service and support contracts when purchasing equipment.

When ordering parts ensure you have the serial number and part number to make the order, a picture will also come in useful.
