Lubrication and Care
Keep the feeder and associated equipment as clean as possible.
Oil the feeder drive motor according to manufacturer’s instructions. A few drops of oil will be sufficient.
DO NOT OVER OIL.
The idler corners on the trough system should also be lubricated every 90 days using #10 weight oil.
To oil, remove the thumb screw or eye bolt on top of the corner and add a few drops of oil.
Lubricate the feed return wheel at 90 days intervals, also using #10 oil. Remove the set screw on the face
of the wheel and fill the reservoir with oil. After replacing the set screw, be sure the feed return slide is
properly adjusted.
