TrainBay Starter service
TrainBay Starter service helps you build safe, practical weld, grind and layout habits right on your workshop floor, with support shaped for real South African conditions.
Routine care keeps your TrainBay Starter running smoothly
Keeping your TrainBay Starter in good shape means checking a few basics every shift, with some jobs best done weekly or monthly. A tidy bay, working PPE, and smooth kit swaps make every shift safer and quicker. If your team uses the same bay for training and production, habits matter even more.
Its easy to forget a small job when the workshop is busy, but many issues start with simple wear, loose tags, or dust build-up. Schedule these checks alongside shift changes so everyone leaves the bay ready for the next group.
- Daily: Wipe layout surfaces, check PPE station, tidy and return all tools
- Weekly: Inspect earth return cables, grind deck skirt, and clamp faces
- Monthly: Check bay tags and habit cards for fading or damage
- Monthly: Test all sockets and plug strips for safe connection
- Monthly: Review and restock your starter PPE pack
Watch for these warning signs and check these first
If your apprentices struggle with setup or you spot uneven welds and grinding marks, start by looking at layout cards, fences, and tool return points. A missing bay card or faded measurement tag can trip up even a skilled person. Sticky grinder switches or loose earth clamps are also early signs its time for service.
Never ignore cracked PPE, damaged cable lugs, or torn spark skirts. If sparks fly further than normal, screens may be in the wrong spot. In wet or coastal shops, check for rusty clamps or stuck bolts after a storm or long shutdown. Always remove oily rags and check the fire extinguisher every Monday.
- Faded or missing habit cards
- Loose or cracked bench earth studs
