CAUTION:
Always shut off machine before adjusting or lubricating. When grinder is operated
during cold weather, all lubrication should be performed after bearings are at operating temperatures.
Since a full bearing with a slight leakage is the best protection against entrance of foreign material, bearings operating
in the presence of dust and water should contain as much grease as speed will permit. At higher speed ranges, too
much grease will cause the bearings to temporarily overheat.
Abnormal bearing temperature during high speed operation may indicate faulty lubrication. The normal temperature
may range from cool to warm to the touch. If a bearing is too hot to touch for more than a few seconds and the bearing
is leaking grease excessively, there is too much grease in the bearing. High bearing temperatures with no grease
showing at the seals, particularly if the bearing seems noisy, usually indicates too little grease. Normal temperature and
slight showing of grease at the seals indicate proper lubrication.
The Lubrication Chart is a general guide for “relubrication”. Certain conditions may require a change of lubrication
periods as dictated by experience.
A heavy-duty, general-purpose, lithium-based grease is recommended for lubricating the HD-8 Industrial Tub Grinder
unless otherwise noted.

5heck the condition of the batteries to insure that the electrolyte level is correct. Make sure that the terminals and
cables are not corroded, and that the battery is held in place properly. Also make sure there is no arcing or grounding by
the terminals.
The system uses one 12 volt battery.
CAUTION
: Hydrogen gas given off by a battery is explosive. Keep sparks and flames away from
the battery. Before connecting or disconnecting a battery charger, turn the charger off. Make last
connection and first disconnection at a point away from the battery. Always connect the
NEGATIVE(-) cable last and disconnect the NEGATIVE(-) cable first.
