LUBRICATION
1) Turn OFF the machine
2) Air hose the dust from the machine
3) Lubricate the gear segment and gear chains sparingly with food machinery gear grease
every 100,000 cycles. Apply to areas marked with [O].
NOTE: The main friction points are outfitted with oil impregnated bronze bushings which provide
a continuously lubricated surface. Added lubrication at pivot and linkage points is not necessary.

SECTION IV: Maintenance
GENERAL
The Tie-Matic machine is designed for simple operation and, with
reasonable care and maintenance, will provide long service.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE MACHINE or
USE SPRAY LUBRICANTS
It is important that the material feed drum and idler pressure wheel be kept free of lubricants. Ex-
cess lubrication to the drum will result in an improper tie due to material slippage, requiring a
thorough cleaning of the material feed drum and idler wheel before reuse. Excess oil lubrication
could damage the motor.
