Cleaning Machine
The environment that the Wall Cleaner is used in can be highly corrosive to steel com-
ponents. Therefore, the Wall Cleaner should be washed off after each use. When washing
the Wall Cleaner with a high pressure washer, do not get water stream too close to the bear-
ings on the Wall Cleaner. Although the bearings are sealed, a stream of high pressure water
placed too close to the bearings may penetrate the bearing seals allowing water to enter, and
ultimately damage, the bearings. It is recommended that the Wall Cleaner be sheltered
when not in use.
Too much build up of material in the tubes and on the rollers of the slide blade carriage
assembly can hinder movement of the sliding blade. These areas should be clean periodi-
cally.
MAINTENANCE
Blade Pivot Lock Bolt Replacement
Scraper Blade Replacement
Wall Follower Slide Replacement
If the blade hangs on an immovable object, the pivot lock bolt will shear allowing the
blade to pivot. To replace the bolt, raise the cleaner, pivot the blade to the original position,
and install a 5/8” x 5 1/2” long GRADE 2 bolt through the blade adjustment plate hole. Install
a lockwasher and nut onto the bolt and tighten securely.
The scraper blade mounts onto the bottom of the main blade with 1/2” x 1 1/4” #3 Reg.
plow bolts, lockwashers, and nuts. Mount the blade with the beveled edge down and to the
rear, flushing the left end of the blade with the discharge end of the main blade.
The Wall Follower Slide is a strip of
polyethylene bolted to the wall following arm
on the side blade. The polyethylene strip
provides a low friction surface to slide along
obstacles in the poultry house. Eventually
the strip will wear out and will have to be re-
placed. To replace the strip, remove the 8
nuts and allen head screws. When reinstall-
ing the strip, make sure the screw heads are
counter-sunk into the polyethylene to prevent
them from hanging on objects in the poultry
house.
