The frequency of the following preventive maintenance procedure is
based on a 8 hour daily production shift or 40 hour work week.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible injury
to personnel and/or damage to the
equipment, lock out and tag the electri-
cal service and compressed air supply
to this equipment. Refer to pages 55
and 56 of this manual for information
regarding lock out/tag out procedures.
CAUTION!
1. Using a suitable wiper or cloth shop towel, clean away the
old grease from the bottom surface of the lower carousel
plate. Use a small painters brush to apply white lithium
grease around the bottom of the lower carousel plate where
the index lift pistons make contact with the plate. Only a
small amount of grease is required. Excessive application of
grease will only serve to attract lint and other air borne con-
taminant’s to the index plate surface.
IMPORTANT!
IF THIS MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE IS
NOT PERFORMED ON A REGULAR BASIS AS LISTED,
THE TABLE LIFT CYLINDER PISTONS WILL SCORE A
GROVE INTO THE SURFACE OF THE CAROUSEL PLATE
CAUSING SEVERE AND PERMANENT DAMAGE!
Apply grease to index plate surface here.
