Maintenance
General Maintenance
To ensure efficient operation, you should inspect, lubricate,
and make necessary adjustments and repairs at regular
intervals. Parts that are starting to show wear should be
ordered ahead of time, before a costly breakdown occurs
and you have to wait for replacement parts. Keep good
maintenance records, and adequately clean your carbide
cutter after each use.
Proper lubrication is important. Too little lubricant will
cause premature failure of a bearing. Too much lubrication
usually causes high operating temperature and early
failure of seals. Follow all lubrication instructions and
schedules included in this section.
