General instruc-
tions
These instructions concern general maintenance work. Specific
maintenance work procedures for each machine will be described
later. When performing any maintenance work the machine must be
secured in the transport position. If the work position is necessary for
performing maintenance work, you will find appropriate instructions to
cover this.
Working with the grease gun
One or two pumps of the grease gun is sufficient for lubrication. If you
feel resistance after just one pump on the lubricant spray, do not apply
more grease to the bearings. When too much grease is applied,
bearings drift apart. This can result in dust and dirt entering the
bearings and causing premature wear and tear.

Complying with the
maintenance intervals
All specifications are based on an average usage of the machine. If heavily loaded,
e.g. machine pool, maintenance should be carried out on a more regular basis. In
work conditions producing high levels of dust, maintenance should also be carried
out on a more regular basis
