MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
A. GENERAL
Preventive maintenance includes normal servicing that will keep the wick inserter in peak
operating condition and prevent unnecessary trouble from developing. This servicing
consists of periodic lubrication and inspection of the moving parts and accessories of the unit.
Lubrication is an essential part of protective maintenance, controlling to a great extent the
useful life of the unit. Different lubricants are needed and some components in the unit
require more frequent lubrication than others. Therefore, it is important that the instructions
regarding types of lubricants and frequency of their applications be closely followed.
To prevent minor irregularities from developing into serious conditions that might involve
shut-down and major repair, several other services or inspections are recommended for the
same intervals as the periodic lubrications. The purpose of these services or inspections
is to assure the uninterrupted operation of the unit.
Thoroughly clean all lubrication fi ttings, caps, fi ller and level plugs and their surrounding
surfaces before servicing. Prevent dirt from entering with lubricants and coolants. The
intervals given in the schedule are based on normal operation. Perform these services,
inspections, etc., more often as needed for operation under abnormal or severe conditions.
B. DAILY
1. Check the entire unit prior to and during set-up each day or at the beginning of each
shift.
2. Prior to starting the engine of the excavator or at the beginning of each shift, check the
following items:
a. Visibly inspect all bolts, nuts and screws, to insure they are tight.
Vibration loosens bolts - check carefully.
b. Check the oil level in the vibration gear box and add oil if required. The oil level should
be in the middle of the sight glass. Change oil If milky or contaminated. DO NOT
OVERFILL
It is absolutely imperative that no dirt or other impurities be permitted
to contaminate the hydraulic fl uid. Any contamination will drastically
shorten the life of the high-pressure hydraulic system.
