The annual inspection of the main storage vault and mini storage vault was performed on 2025-06-20.
The alignment of the main storage vault door was checked and confirmed to be fixed. The paint was checked to see if there was any visible marks which there were none.
The following was also checked:
- Cabling and cable management (note: the emergency override mechanism's aircraft cable showed signs of fraying. Recommended to keep and eye on it and potentially replace in the future)
- Connectors
- Controls box - external connectors and wiring
- Limit switches - wiring, mounting (note: The opened-limit switch for the mini storage vault was shifted a 5mm to accommodate the addition of a rubber bumper for the motor. It was noted that the motor was bumping into the SMP due to inertia of the mini vault door. Testing confirmed operation after the modifications.)
- Motor visual check (note: The drive chain on the main storage vault had excessive slack so the motor was re-aligned and the chain tightened. The main storage vault was not opened this inspection so testing of the opening and closing is required.)
- Drive wheels visual check
- Drive track visual check
- Bearings visual check (note: The bearings on the main storage vault were re-greased)
- Miscellaneous fasteners visual check
