Machine surfaces get extremely hot
during operation and can cause severe
burns.
Before performing any service on the
machine allow all surfaces to cool down
to below 100F (38C)
Under no circumstances may the
recommended lubrication intervals
be exceeded. Avoiding service
intervals will be constituted as
negligence and will void the
warranty on the machine.
SERVICE & LUBRICATION
In order to properly protect your machine and
get the best performance with the longest
life; schedules of preventive maintenance
and lubrication must be adhered to. All
maintenance and lubrication schedules are
guidelines based upon normal cycles under
average working conditions. When unusually
severe working conditions or operations are
encountered, maintenance and lubrication
frequencies must be increased. Operating in
extreme temperatures (hot or cold), under
constant heavy load, operating intermittently,
or operating in very dusty conditions
constitute severe conditions and operation.
Lubrication
Keeping your machine properly lubricated is
the most effective way to prevent failures.
The lubrication chart provides reference to all
points requiring lubrication, and to the
recommended frequency of lubrication.
A. Keep all lubricants and lubricating
equipment clean and free of
contamination both while in storage
and while in use.
B. Clean all grease fittings and surfaces before applying a grease gun. Dirt on
fittings will be forced through along with the clean grease, and may cause
accelerated wear and premature bearing failure.
C. Wipe off excess grease and other lubricants. Oily and greasy surfaces collect
dirt which may work its way into
moving parts and cause wear.
D. When greasing fittings under normal
working conditions, apply grease until
it appears. Under extremely dirty or
dusty conditions, apply grease to
fittings until old grease has been
flushed.
