Inspections, maintenance and service
It is recommended to empty the bucket completely right after using it. Do not store the bucket directly against
the ground; place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for example. Leave the attachment to a position where
water will not stay in the attachment.
A pressure washer and mild detergent can be used for cleaning the bucket. Do not use strong solvents or
spray directly at the labels on the attachment. Before longer storage periods touch up the paint where needed
to prevent rust damage.
7.3
Lubrication
There are a total of 4 lubricating points
on the machine, 3 at the bearings of
the belt and 1 at the free end of the
mixing shaft.
Appropriate
lubrication
interval
depends heavily on use and operating
conditions, but lubricant must be
added at least after every 10 hours of
use. Adequate lubrication must be
ensured, and if the bearings are dirty,
lubricant must be added; added
lubricant will push out dirt.
Clean the end of the nipple before
greasing and add only a small amount
of grease at a time. All lubrication
nipples are standard R1/8" nipples.
Replace any damaged nipples.
7.4
Adjusting belt tightness
In case of belt slipping, check the tensioning of the
belt.
Tighten the belt by loosening the four retaining bolts
of the bearing first, then adjust with adjustment
screw.
Make sure that both sides are adjusted to the same
setting. Incorrect alignment of the belt can damage
the belt or cause the belt to wear quickly. Adjacent
to the adjustment screw, there are markings on the
frame to help with even tensioning.
Tighten the bearings before operating the belt.
Check tensioning after tightening to ensure correct
alignment and operation.
7.5
Hydraulic motor of mixing shaft
A pressure relief valve is fitted to protect the mixing shaft from getting damaged if stuck. The valve is adjusted
by the manufacturer and the setting must not be changed. Contact service if necessary.
