LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
Main Gear Case
• The main gear case contains 6-1/4 pounds of grease.
• Gear case level shoud be checked once a year. The level of the grease in the gear case should be up to half the thickness of the helical gears.
Wheel Bearings
Use grease gun and grease every six months, 1 shot of grease on each wheel.
Other Grease Fittings
•
Two fittings on bearing caps on top of gear case. Lubricate these fittings every six months with 3 shots of grease.
•
One fitting on foot leveling device; recommended grease every six months with 1/2 shot of grease.
• There are four shoulder bolts located at the pivot points of the handle bar that require 1/2 shot of grease every six months.
KEEPING MACHINE CLEAN
Schedule daily cleaning after each days grinding. Do not let any cake-up of cement grinding paste occur, as this could create an overload on your
machine.
1. Tilt machine back on handle
2. Clean under carriage with water using a garden hose and nozzle.
3.
Clean all grease fittings.
REPLACING WORN, DAMAGED, MISSING PARTS
Morflex Couplings
• Bolts should be checked weekly for tightness. Loose bolts cause extreme vibrations and premature failure of rubber inserts in the couplings.
• Flexible couplings should be changed a minimum of once a year whether you use your machine or not.
HIGH MOTOR TEMPERATURE
•
“Running Hot” is normal for the smaller, lighter “T” type motor. Even though they will run hotter, the “T” motors run more efficiently on this
machine.
•
Electric motors on this machine are designed to operate efficiently at 165°F (74°C).
•
The temperatures of motors are rated by temperature rise and full load over and above room temperature (25°C or 77°F).
•
Do not touch the motors while they are hot. To check the temperature of the motor, place a 200°F thermometer on the frame of the motor and
a glob of putty over the bulb of the thermometer.
• A thermal protected starter is used on these machines, which protects the motor against low voltage and overload conditions which could
raise the temperature of the motor beyond safe limits.
