*Illustration may not depict the correct disc leveler. Illustration is for reference only.
Notes on cleaning:
The mechanical seals of the disc hubs are very sensitive. If water has entered them and the machine is
then parked over a longer period of time, damage may occur.
This can cause corrosion, and both mechanical seal rings may stick together. The mechanical seal rings
will then rotate around the O-ring and damage it. Oil could run out of the hub and the bearing would be
damaged after a short while with no lubrication.
• Bearings must therefore not be cleaned with high pressure cleaning equipment.
• Before longer periods of rest, the bearing locations should be sprayed with a rust
dissolver/inhibitor, or similar lubricant.
Before resuming operation, the discs should be turned by hand and checked for
unrestricted rotation.
The disc hub (illustrated on the following page) is oil filled as mentioned above. If
the seals or O-rings are damaged and further service is required, replace the seals
and O-rings, and fill the hub with 1.0 ounces of oil industrial gear lubricant, Renolin
Unisyn CLP 220 205L, or equivalent fully synthetic based on polyalphaolefins.
