The complete roller must be given a weekly cleaning. Daily cleaning will be required if material is
adhering to the roller working parts.
1. Make sure the operator areas, steps, and grab rails are clean. Oil, grease, snow, ice, or mud in
these areas can be slippery. Clean the boots of excess mud before getting in the cab or on the
roller operator platform.
2.
Check the tower feed installation for debris buildup around the sheaves.
3.
Thoroughly wash all fittings, caps, plugs, and the like with a nonflammable, nontoxic cleaning
solution before servicing to prevent dirt from entering while performing the service.
Note Protect all electrical components and control panels against entry of water or steam when
using high pressure cleaning methods. Cover the fuel and hydraulic fill cap
breathers located on each tank.
4.
After cleaning, check for defects in the air cleaner ducts.
a.
Check intake for accumulation of debris that could restrict air flow.
b.
Check air cleaner mounting hardware for security.
c.
Check all hoses for cracks, chafing, or deterioration and replace at the first sign of probable
failure.
