Important: These instructions will help you service the
unit. Instructions are for a person with some mechani-
cal ability and training. No attempt has been made to
describe all basic steps, for example, how to loosen
or tighten fasteners. Also basic procedures such as
cycling systems and checking operation of the equip-
ment are not fully described since they are known to
anyone who does mechanical and service work. Do
not attempt to perform work beyond your ability or at
which you have no experience. If you need assistance,
call an authorized service center.
1. The vertical slide should be cleaned with a vapor-
izing solvent and then lubricated with chassis grease
once a month.
2. Check the adjustment of the Duckhead
®
mount/
demount tool once a month.
3. Check the fluid level in the table top transmission
once every 3 months. While wearing rubber gloves,
remove the fill port plastic plug and inserting your
finger to check the fluid level. If your gloved finger
touches the oil, the transmission is properly filled. If
your glove remains dry, add a high quality SAE 80/90
gear lubricant. Repeat steps 2 & 3 to recheck the fluid
level. Reinstall the fill port plastic plug.
4. The table top, clamps, steel Duckhead
®
mount/
demount tool, and other working surfaces should be
cleaned with a vaporizing solvent every month.
5. The clamps should be inspected and metal chips
and dirt removed from the serrations with a wire
brush every month.
6. Check the tire pressure gauge function daily, and
check the accuracy monthly. Use a pressurized tire
and a high quality stick-type pressure gauge. If the
gauge is defective, replace it immediately (part num-
ber 8107985). Check function of the pressure regulator
weekly.
7. Make sure all fasteners are securely tightened.
8. Make certain that all guards and covers are in

ing grips and protective covers. Replace them before
allowing the unit to be used.
