Lubricating and Cleaning Intervals
1.
After 3 to 4 paper rolls (material number HP0153):
–
Lubricate the moving parts of the paper feed mechanism with Teflon
lubricant oil or Teflon lubricant spray, as currently given in the manual.
2.
After approx. 5 to 10 paper rolls or after 300 operating hours or every
10,000
measurements (whatever occurs sooner):
–
Perform a simple cleaning of the parts of the paper feed mechanism to
remove the coarsest soiling.
–
Then lubricate all moving parts (with lubricant grease and/or with lubri-
cant oil or lubricant spray).
3.
After (every) approx.
50
paper rolls:
–
Complete cleaning of all parts of the paper feed mechanism to remove
all deposits and re-lubrication of all parts (all rotating and sliding parts;
NOTICE
The lifetime of the paper feed mechanism components depends heavily on
correct on-site maintenance. If the following activities are not done in time, the
lifetime of the paper feed mechanism will be considerably reduced. The
mentioned intervals are typical, recommended values that might even be shorter
if the system is exposed to additional stress caused by heavy contamination with
particulate matter or by contamination present in the ambient air.
Basically, the following applies: If you notice that "lubricant oil or lubricant
grease" is no longer "liquid" at the lube points, or if the deposits have already
turned black or exhibit an "almost solid or stiff consistency", all moving parts
have to be completely cleaned to remove any abrasion, deposits, residues of
lubrication agents etc. Furthermore, a subsequent re-lubrication of the system is
necessary.
A complete cleaning and re-lubrication of all moving parts is also required (immi-
nent danger) if you can hear "squeaky", "rubbing", "grating", "crunching" or
"grinding" noises during paper feed.
Information
In general, the currently defined Teflon lubricant oil can be used in the same way
as it has been used in the past. However, it is absolutely necessary to adhere to
the defined lubricating and cleaning intervals.
Points or system parts for which lubricant grease should preferably be used or
which only require the use of lubricant oil (or lubricant spray) are marked sepa-
rately in the following illustrations.
If the measuring system is not used continously (means approx.5 days a week;
approx. 50 weeks a year) the general use of HS0064 as lubricant agent is
recommended.
Lubricating agents:
Teflon Lubricant Oil (material number HS0064)
Teflon Lubricant Spray (material number HS0058)
Lubricant Grease OKS 260 (material number HS0071);
only for systems which are in permanent use
(7 days a week, > 300 days a year).
