C: The automatic chain oiler attachment gives a squirt of oil (approx. 15ml) every time
the guillotine door ram cycles. In this way, the machine is oiled in direct proportion to
the number of cycles and adequate lubrication is assured. There is an adjustment screw
on the base of the automatic oiler, turning clockwise applies less oil and anticlockwise
more.
3.
After each season, remove all chains by loosening the tensioners and removing the
joiner links - see figure 8.
4.
Wash off all dirt using paraffin. Dry the chains before soaking overnight in oil and then
refit.

CAUTION:
Failure to maintain oil on the chains may reduce the working life by 90%. Chain
damage is not covered by factory warranty. See warranty section for more details.
It is also essential to monitor and maintain the required chain tension. Chain tension
is adjustable for both the primary and secondary chains. (See next section)
CAUTION:
For the first month of ownership (i.e., during the chain bedding-in period), it is
recommended to check chain tension daily. (See next section)
