MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance requirements
have been reduced to the absolute minimum. However, it is very important that these maintenance
functions be performed as described below.
WARNING!
Failure to obey the following procedures could result in death or serious injury.
•
Never walk under or climb on raised liftarms or a raised attachment.
•
Do not use blocking made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or
any other material that cold suddenly collapse or shift positions. Do not
use wood or steel blocking that shows any signs of material decay. Do
not use blocking that is warped, twisted, or tapered.
•
If the attachment must be raised, block the machine with blocks or
jackstands, NOT lift jacks or hoists. Always block the rear wheels of the
Planer in a manner that stabilizes the chassis.
•
Always wear protective equipment including a HARD HAT and EYE
PROTECTION when operating, performing maintenance, or working near
this
product.
•
The Attachment Part group and the Chassis Part group pivot freely. Do
not place any part of your body between these areas or under this
product without stabilizing this pivot point.
ANNUALLY
NOTE: Initial oil change should be after 50 hours of operation. Subsequent oil change should be
every 1000 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
Planetary gearbox is to be half full of oil when the unit is mounted level and horizontal. Use
mild extreme pressure lubricant API-GL-5, No. 80 or 90. The capacity of the gearbox is 30
oz. Refer to Parts Illustrations to disassemble and reassemble your Planer.
To change the oil in the Planetary Gearbox:
1.
Remove motor. NOTE: motor shaft adapter is loose and can fall from planetary.
2.
Remove pivot weldment with attach weldment. Keep attach weldment close and do not stretch
hoses.
3.
Remove depth cylinders. Hydraulic lines can be left attached.
4.
Remove two depth skids.
5.
Remove the right and left support plates from the chassis.
6.
Using the lift point on the chassis, raise the chassis off of the drum.
7.
Remove the planetary.
8.
Remove drain plug from the planetary.
9.
Drain oil from planetary.
10.
Fill planetary with oil. The oil level must be at the bottom of the threads with the hole level. Do
not tip the planetary, as the oil can run out of the planetary before the motor is installed.
11.
Clean any debris from the drain plug and apply pipe thread sealant to the threads.
12.
Install the planetary in the drum.
13.
Install the drum in the chassis. Install the depth skids, pivot weldment, and depth cylinders.
14.
Complete the reassembly of your Planer. (See Parts Illustrations & Parts Lists and Torque
Specifications for reference during reassembly.)
