Inspect Pads and Pad Holders
1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Rock the machine back by lifting up the front of the
machine until it rests on the handle grips.(See “Rok-
Bak & Pad Change” section.)
4. Remove centering device and inspect the pad. If the
pad has worn less than 1/4” (6 mm), replace it.
5. Inspect the pad holder for cracks or damage. If the
pad holder does not have any damage proceed to
step 9.
WARNING! A damaged pad holder rotating at a high
rate of speed may be an extreme hazard if it should
come apart.
6. If the pad holder needs to be removed, a 3/4” wrench
will be required. Locate the wrench flats on top of
the spindle shaft. With the spindle shaft secure, turn
the pad holder counter clockwise until it is free of the
spindle shaft.
7. Save the washer and/or spacer that is on the spindle
shaft. Be sure they are in place when the pad holder
is re-installed.
8. When threading the pad holder onto the spindle
shaft, use the wrench to keep the shaft from turning.
Be sure the pad holder is tight before proceeding.
9. Secure the pad with the centering device.
10. Lower the machine.
Belt Maintenance
1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Place the machine in the Rok-Bak position (See
“Rok-Bak & Pad Change” section) by lifting up on the
front of the machine until it rests on the handle grips.
4. Rotate the pad drive and inspect the belt.
5. If cracks or excessive wear is present, the belt needs
to be replaced.
6. To check for the proper tightness, squeeze the belt
together. The belt should depress between 1/4” (0.6
cm) and 1/2” (1.3 cm).
