Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, do not use oil-based lubricants
or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers must be maintained, cycled, and tested at intervals not less than every six months and in accordance with the
latest editions of NFPA 90A & 92A, UL864 and local codes.
