CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
CAUTION
Failure to properly clean and lubricate the Model
5850v2 before each use may result in compaction errors,
premature equipment wear, and other problems.
Before operating the compactor:
Vacuum the mold tray and compaction chamber.
Clean the mold tray, lower carriage plate, and ram head (see
Figure 2–2, View A), as well as the upper carriage assembly and
upper puck plate (View B) with Bindoff or similar cleaner.
Lubricate the ram head and the upper puck plate with
Magnalube-G.
Clean the mold and pucks with Bindoff or similar cleaner.
CAUTION
Do not use a degreasing cleaner or glass cleaner to clean
the clear chamber door. To prevent damage to the door
surface, use a mild detergent only.
Before each use:
If necessary, clean the mold tray, lower carriage plate, and ram
head (see Figure 2–2, View A), as well as the upper carriage
assembly and upper puck plate (View B) with Bindoff or similar
cleaner.
Ensure that the exterior surface of the mold is free of dirt and
asphalt residue.
Lubricate the ram head with Magnalube-G.
Inspect the upper puck plate. If dry, lubricate it with Magnalube.
