How to service
Mechanical Drive System:
1.
Bottom Chain Drive:
Keep drive chain tension adjusted to about 1/4" deflection by loosening the four bolts
on lower bearing, then retighten. Oil chain frequently enough to keep film of oil on chain (this can be done
through hole in top of sprocket shield). REPLACE SPROCKET SHIELD AFTER MAINTENANCE.
2.
Universal Joint:
Flip up safety discharge door and lubricate grease fitting in the u-joint every 8 hours of
operation. Check setscrews and retighten if necessary.
3.
Gearboxes:
Check oil levels in both gearboxes at least once a year, depending on use. Gearboxes should be
half full with EP90 lube oil. Fill as needed, you may need a flexible funnel.
If you notice excessive loss of oil, check more frequently and repair problem. Each gearbox requires 355 ml
or 12-1/2 fluid ounces. Do not overfill, half full only.
A. Upper Gearbox
— flip up safety discharge door or open round service door and service gearbox as
required.
B. Lower Gearbox
— open round service door and service gearbox as required.
For more extensive servicing or repairs, remove hopper from boot assembly by removing the 3/8" x 3/4"
bolts and large washers. Lift hopper with front-end loader or other secure method (see
).
At this time also check and retighten setscrews and connecting bolts. Clean and lightly grease the splined
shaft. Reattach hopper to boot assembly as per instructions in
Section 3.8 – Standard Intake Hopper
