NOTE: These cones are subject to high torque
and it may be necessary to periodically re-
tighten the handle until the cone surfaces
become securely seated.
Exposed metal areas, such as the column and
the over arm, should be kept clean and free of
rust.
Lubrication
Oil Reservoir
Open the oil cap (shown in Figure 25). The oil
level should be approximately 1-1/2” deep; that
is, about 1” from the rim of the hole. Periodically
check the oil level and top off as needed with 90
weight gear oil.
Completely drain and refill the oil every 1,000
working hours, or every 6 months.
To change the oil:
1. Remove the feeder body from the clamp.
2. Unscrew and remove the oil cap (shown in
Figure 25) and turn the feeder body upside
down to completely drain the oil. (NOTE:
Always dispose of used oil properly.)
3. Turn feeder body right side up, and pour
new oil into the fill hole, until it is about 1”
from the rim.
4. Re-install the oil cap (Figure 25).
Rollers
NOTE: Grease is not provided with the grease
gun. To fill the grease gun, follow the
instructions on its package.
Each of the rollers has a grease fitting located in
the hub center, as shown in Figure 26. Use the
provided grease gun to insert a good quality, all-
purpose grease into these fittings every 200
working hours, or every 30 days.
Also insert grease into the fitting on each tip of
the sprocket shafts, which are located inside the
housing cover as shown in Figure 27.
Chains
Lubricate the drive chains (shown in Figure 13)
with good quality all-purpose grease every 3
months, or more frequently if needed.
Elevating Screw
Occasionally apply a light coat of grease to the
elevating screw of the vertical column (identified
in Figure 1 on page 7).
