V. Maintenance and Repair
5.1 Regular checks
5.1.1 Lubrication of cutting parts
(1) add oil every half hour
Add #32 mechanical lubricant between the comb and cutter, tension pin cup and the
roller (by opening cover cap on top of the handpiece). Loosen the tension nut, place
the handpiece in a near upright position, then drip oil onto tension sleeve. Lift the
forkbody, then drip oil to the inner side of the forkbody until oil reaches the center
post cup.
(2) add grease once a day
Take out the tension sleeve and apply a suitable amount of grease.
(3) add grease once a week
Take out both chickenfeet, apply grease into the chickenfeet holes on the forkbody.
Caution:
make sure grease is not trapped between the thread bush and tension nut.
This may affect the proper functioning of the tensioning system.
5.1.2 lubricating gear box
(1) Only use special quality synthetic grease for lubricating the gearbox.
(2) The amount of grease inside the gear box should be between 2 to 3.5 ml.
Insufficient lubrication could negatively affect the operation of the gearbox and may
cause damage. Over-application could lead to leakage and overheating.
(3) It’s suggestion that adding grease into gear box in 30 running hours (or shorn 600
sheep) .
(4) if the rear section of the handpiece overheats, check whether there is a problem
with gearbox lubrication, add or replace grease if necessary.
(5)It’s required to refill grease after having stored for more than 6 months prior to
use.
5.1.3 Check for worn parts
After shearing 3000-4000 sheep, it is recommended to inspect the handpiece
thoroughly to see if there is noticeable wear on any small parts. Small parts should
be replaced after being worn out. This could help prolong the service life of major
parts.
5.1.4 Storage
For longer term storage, the parts that need to be replaced should be replaced,
various parts of the handpiece should be re-filled with lubricating oil. Put the
