B&C Technologies HE-110, Installation And Operation Manual

Page: 44 / 49

1. HE-65 (some models), HE-85, HE-110: Each month or after every 200 hours of operation,
lubricate bearing and seals. See instructions on the machine.
(a) Use a premium grade lithium complex grease. Never mix two types of grease.
(b) Pump the grease gun slowly, permitting only the following number of strokes:
(a) Bearing grease fitting, 2 strokes
(b) Seal grease fitting, 1 stroke.
Do not pump the grease gun if grease comes out of the bearing housing. This can result in
over lubrication, causing damage to bearings and seals.
2. If the machine is provided with automatic lubricators, check that they are injecting grease.
Normally they last for approximately one year (see TSB016 for details). Mark new lubricators
with installation date.
3. Clean the AC drive fins:
(a) Remove the AC drive box cover.
(b) Blow the fins clean using compressed air at a pressure of 60- 90 psi ( 4-6 Bar) or by using
canned compressed air. Use care to avoid damaging cooling fan or other components.
NOTE: No amount of visible foreign matter should be allowed to accumulate on fins, finger
guard, cooling fan or fan filter. Replace damaged fan filters.
4. Use the following procedures to determine if V-belts require replacement or adjustment. Call
a qualified service technician in either case.
(a) Check V-belts for uneven wear and frayed edges.
(b) HE-35, HE-45, HE-65: After disconnecting power to the machine and removing all pan-
els necessary for access to the drive belts, inspect motor tensioning spring and belt ten-
sion.
(c) HE-85, HE-110: After disconnecting power to the machine and removing all panels
necessary for access to the drive belts, use the following method to verify that the V-
belts are properly tensioned. Belt tensioning is straightforward, and accomplished by
loosening the tension adjusting bolts and adjusting the belts to the proper tension. Then
the bolts should be tightened. See figure 6.2.
(d) Verify that V-belts are properly aligned by checking pulley alignment. Place a straight-
edge across both pulley faces. The straight edge should make contact with the pulleys
in four places. See figure 6.1.
