MAINTENACE GUIDE
We have broken the machine down in to assemblies and listed the recommended maintenance for each.
The following should be performed at regular intervals.
FRONT POST ASSEMBLY
LOAD CELLS
Check load check leakage for free movement. Adjust as required.
Check for loose bolts. Tighten or replace as required.
FLEXURES
Ensure that the flexure is not bent and/or out of level. If the flexures are out of level binding
will occur between them and cause the bag weights to be erratic. Level the upper flexure
and then measure the distance from the upper to the lower on both the front and back to
make sure they are the same. If not the same loosen the front bolt that go thru the bag post
and adjust the flexure up or down to obtain the same dimension between them.
Check for loose or missing bolts. Tighten as required.
BEAING BASE ASSEMBLY
BEARINGS
Check the bearing seals for deterioration and/or leaking grease. Grease or replace as
required.
Check for excessive vibration with the auger running. If rubbing is taking place then the
auger may need to be realigned in the fill spout. (See chapter on how to center filling spout
in fill tube.)
AUGER MOTOR
