Drive chains
:
Remove both chains; wash off all dirt and old oil using paraffin, then
dry. Soak both chains in oil overnight or longer, if possible.
Idler and auger shaft
front bearing:
Remove and pack with grease.
Overall machine:
Before storage, wash the complete machine, then grease or oil all
weekly lubrication points as above. Open the drain cock in the
mixing hopper. Check tyre pressures. Store the machine under
cover or under a tarpaulin, if possible.
Electronic weigh box:
If the machine is to be stored, remove the weigh box unit from the
machine and keep in a dry place. Lightly grease the load cell cable
connector end and place it into a plastic bag.
Wheels:
Remove and inspect wheel hub. Replace worn parts, redress and
re-fit.
Blades:
Blades need to be kept sharp. This will have to be done without
taking the temper (overheating) from the blades. Operating the
machine with blunt blades will put major stress on the drive system.
Blades may have to be replaced if it is no longer practical to
sharpen them.
