5.1 Servicing
Your machine has been designed and
constructed for maximum performance,
operational efficiency and operator
friendlinessunderawidevarietyofoperating
conditions.
Prior to delivery, your machine has been
checkedatthefactoryandbyyourauthorised
dealertoensurethatyoureceiveamachine
inoptimumcondition.
To ensure trouble-free operation,
it is important that servicing and
maintenanceworkisperformedat
therecommendedintervals.
5.2 Cleaning
In order to ensure that the machine is
alwaysinoperatingconditionandtoachieve
optimumperformance,performthecleaning
andservicingworkatregularintervals.
Avoidcleaningtheroll/discbearingswith
ahigh-pressurehoseoradirectwaterjet.
Thehousing,screwedconnectionsandball
bearingsarenotwatertight.
5.3 Disc Hub
Maintenance
Greaseeverydischubuntilgrease
showsfromthesealsaccordingto
the lubricating intervals outlined
onpage36.
Check disc hubs regularly for
tightness.
Fig. 5.01: Checking Disc Bearing Adjustment
1 Ensurethatthebearingsealisinthe
correct orientation when replacing /
assemblingcomponents.
2 Ensurethatthestubaxleisfreefrom
dirtandthenutandouterbearingcan
easilyslideonit.
3 Tighten the crown nut with a hand
spanner (a torque wrench is not
required) while turning the hub
clockwise until the bearing drags
slightly (you feel the hub turning
heavily).Someresistancewillbedue
tofrictionfromtheseal.
4 Turn back the crown nut to the next
lockingposition.Evenifthetightening
ofthenuthasreachedanexactxing
position,turnitback.
5 Inserttheretainingpin.
6 Trytoshake/rocktheouteredgeofthe
hub/spindle:play of 0.1/ 0.2mm will
not reduce the bearings’ life and, in
addition,preventsoverheating.Ifthe
adjustmentiscorrectthehubshould
turnfreelywiththeonlyfrictionbeing
fromtheseal.
