Checking the Mandrel’s Bearings and Wheels
At least once every 3 weeks, check that all Bearings in the Mandrel and the Wheels that touch
them are clean spin freely.
Items Needed to Check the Mandrel’s Bearings and Wheels:
• Cut-Resistant Work Gloves
• Compressed Air
To Check the Mandrel’s Bearings and Wheels:
Remove the Mandrel (see “Removing the Mandrel” on page 152).
Check that all the Bearings in the Mandrel spin freely are free of dust and contaminants,
and clean as necessary using compressed air. If they still do not spin freely, replace
them (see “
Replacing the Bearings in the Mandrel” on page 157).
With the Mandrel still removed, manually spin the Support Wheels, Film Drive Wheels,
and Applicator Wheels inside the LX-150 to make sure that they also spin freely, and
use compressed air to clean them as needed. If they still do not spin freely, replace them
(see “
Replacing the Support Wheels” on page 177, “Replacing the Film Drive Wheels”
on page 176, or “Replacing the Applicator Wheels” on page 178).
