General
instructions
These instructions concern general maintenance work. Specific
maintenance work procedures for each machine will be described
later. When performing all 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
concerning this work.
Working with the grease gun
Lubrication is performed by one or two pumps with the grease gun. 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 have as starting point an average use of the machine. If heavily
loaded, e.g. machine pool, the maintenance intervals should be performed on a
more regular basis. In work conditions with heavy dust development the
maintenance intervals should also be performed on a more regular basis
