As a guideline: with light use about once a year, with normal use (one shift per day) once or twice a year and with heavy use several times a year. The table below shows the breakdown.
Besides the daily checks, there is periodic maintenance from a mechanic. How often depends on:

|---|---|---|
| Light bet | A few hours a day, clean environment | Maintenance approx. 1x per year |
