1 General notes
We recommend an annual inspection of the entire machine
by our customer service.
For service or repair work, order our customer service at one
of our service workshops.
Spare parts have to meet the technical requirements of the
machine's manufacturer. This is guaranteed with original
spare parts from Mayer.
2 Inspection and preventative maintenance
2.1 Elevator chains
Chains may be retensioned by means of tensioning bearings
located on the sides of the elevator. Check regularly if the chains
are tensioned properly. When the chain is too loose, the plates
may jam with edge of the housing.
Overtensioned chain requires an excess of driving power and
causes too quick wear. When the chains are retensioned, both of
them shall have the same tightness. With the soil hopper being
completely empty and the elevator being at the height of the pot
holder, normal tension is available when the chain can be moved
about 3-4 cm by hand.
Grease elevator chain prior to a longer shutdown!
