Operation
Optimizer Basket Do’s and Don’ts
• DON’T run air pressure greater than 120 PSI - the system is rated for a maximum of 120 PSI.
• DON’T operate at low speeds. The Optimizer Basket was designed for speeds greater than 4 mph.
Speeds below 4 mph will not yield optimum strip conditioning.
• DO keep Optimizer Baskets free of debris and excessive mud buildup.
• DO work to regularly maintain your Optimizer Baskets. With proper care, you can expect a lon-
ger and more effective lifespan for all of your Hawkins equipment.
• DO check that baskets rotate freely before each use. Failure of basket to rotate freely may
decrease effectiveness and cause damage to the Optimizer Basket. If baskets seize or make
excessive noise during operation, replace bearings.
Bearing Maintenance
We recommend greasing each grease zerk weekly. This will greatly prolong the life of the bearings in the
Optimizer Baskets.
