Hyd-Mech S-23A - GENERAL MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Pg 34 S23A 2001
LUBRICATION
The S-23A was designed to minimize the maintenance
requirements. Moving assemblies and contact faces need
lubrication on a regular schedule if they are in use heavily or
not. The lubrication requirements are primarily the saw pivot
points and shuttle assembly which are equipped with grease
fittings, and metal to metal surfaces that require lubrication to
prevent wear and seizure.
NOTE: Hyd-Mech recommends Monthly
lubrication.
HEAD DOWN LIMIT SWITCH
The Head down limit switch operates to cut power to the blade motor and
the coolant pump motor when the Head has descended to the bottom of its
travel in the Manual mode. The Head is adjusted so that the blade will
descend slightly past the level of the vise wear strips.This setting is critical to
ensure that the blade has cut fully through the stock.
The Head down limit switch is made with the Head fully down and when
the spring post contacts the limit switch at the top of its travel. The Head
Down Limit switch is located in the electrical box as shown in the photo.
Adjustment of the limit switch is made by changing the position of the set
bolt which is located on the end of the spring post. Lengthening the set bolt
will cause the limit switch to activate sooner as the spring post meets the limit
switch roller.
Shortening the setting bolt by turning it into the spring post will lengthen
the time before the Head limit switch is activated.

be attended to on a monthly basis. Lubrication should be a
