Maintenance
General Maintenance
To ensure efficient operation, you should inspect,
lubricate, and make necessary adjustments and repairs
at regular intervals. Parts that are starting to show
wear should be ordered ahead of time, before a costly
breakdown occurs and you have to wait for replacement
parts. Keep good maintenance records, and adequately
clean your Battle Ax Light after each use.
Proper lubrication is important. Too little lubricant will
cause premature failure of a bearing. Too much lubrication
usually causes high operating temperature and early
failure of seals. Follow all lubrication instructions and
schedules included in this section.
