DAILY - AFTER EVERY 4 TO 8 HOURS OF OPERATION
1. Check engine and blower air cleaner filters for dirt and debris. Remove and clean with dry
compressed air if necessary.
2. Check engine coolant and oil levels. Add or replace as necessary.
3. Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir. The oil should be about half-way up the sight glass.
Add or replace if necessary.
4. Check blower oil level. Add or replace if necessary. See blower manual.
5 Clean out front floor chain compartment. Unclamp and remove the front clean-out door
from the front of the hopper by first sliding the door toward the passenger side of the unit,
pulling toward the hitch, and finally, back toward the driver's side of the unit. Remove any
buildup from under the floor pan and around the sprockets. This will minimize material
overflow through the front take-up bearings during daily operation.
6. Check fuel level. Add if necessary.
WEEKLY - AFTER EVERY 50 HOURS OF OPERATION
1. Lubricate the bearings on the drag conveyor, airlock, the blower and on the feed roll shaft.
See Lube Chart on pages 28 and 29. Wipe each bearing before lubrication to remove dirt
and prevent overheating.
2. Blow out radiator fins with dry compressed air. Do not use a pressure washer, as this will
damage the radiator fins.
3. Remove and clean or replace air cleaner elements on the engine and rotary blower. To
clean elements, use clean compressed air.
4. Check the oil in the airlock gearbox. Add or replace if necessary.
5. Check the gear case on the blower (see blower manual).
6. Check airlock knife for wear, chips, and clearance. To adjust knife, follow the procedure
below:
DANGER
Knives have very sharp edges that can cause serious injury. Adjust one at a time. Handle
with care. Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.
A) Using a 3/16-in. allen wrench, remove the six set-screw plugs in the access holes on
the outside front/rear face of the airlock housing.
NOTE
:
To adjust the reversing knife, the rear catch pan will need to be
removed to gain access to the reversing knife clamps.
B) Loosen the two outer bolts on each of the three knife clamps in the top of the airlock.
C) Slightly loosen the center bolt on each of the three knife clamps.
D) You can reach the knife adjusting screws through the access holes in the outside front/
rear face of the airlock housing. Using a 5/32-in. allen wrench, adjust each of the screw
in until there is a uniform .003 in. to .006 in (.08 mm to .15 mm) gap between the knife
and rotor. One full turn of the screw will move the knife approximately .055 in. (1.4 mm).
Make sure the adjusting screws on each knife-clamp are adjusted equally.
