- Check blade lubrication and
hydraulic levels.
DO NOT USE
: petroleum products,
petroleum based products, flammable
products, a vegetable oil based product.
The above products mixed with water or
straight will cause damage to your mill.
The fluid will be slippery between the
blade and wheel belting causing blade to
come off.
DO USE
: In The Summer Months tap
water. If there is a problem with pitch build
up on the blade, add 1 oz. of dish soap or
pinesol to 1 gallon of tap water. This will
help keep the blade clean and less heat.
In the Winter Months water will freeze
in the lube tank. Use regular windshield
washer fluid (usually blue in color) If there
is a pitch build up problem add the 1 oz. of
dish soap or pinesol.
Adjustment: Before starting the engine,
adjust the flow of lube to the blade by
adjusting the flow shut off valve so there is
a constant drip. If more lube is necessary,
continue to adjust the valve until the
desired flow is acquired.
3 - Be sure the blade is sharp and tight
4 - Be sure all levers and switches are in
the neutral/center position before starting
the engine (if applicable)
