11.5.8.15. Lubricating the chains and sprockets
This group includes the following locations on the machine: Chain drive of the feed roller.
Use the following procedure:
• Expose the chain by removing the chain guard. See
“11.3.2. Removing the chain guard”, page 52.
• Wipe away all grease and lubricant in and around the
drive.
• Spray penetrating oil containing molybdenum disulphi-
de to dissolve dirty lubricant.
• Clean away any remaining oil and clean the chain by
blowing on it.
• Apply new lubricant once the drive has been cleaned.
• Use a small brush to apply grease to the teeth of the
sprockets.
• Multi Purpose Grease or a product of the same quality.
• It is better to use a liquid lubricant on chains so that it can penetrate into them. ELIET recom-
mends using Novation Clear Lube spray.
• After applying the lubricant, carefully refit the guards, trying as much as possible to keep out
dust and dirt.
All of these products are available from your ELIET Dealer.
