Maintenance Requirements
The only regular maintenance required is removing excess dirt and soot and
regular lubrication of the linkages and guide bearings. The linkages are
spherical bearings with bronze liners. Whilst they have some self-lubrication
properties, the bearings will last a lot longer with grease injected into the
greasing points on the joints.
The guide bearings should be kept clean from dust and grit and occasionally
a drop of engine oil placed on the rails.
The Decapper WILL break pins and occasionally guide rods. We recommend
you keep a good supply of pins on hand. (Small pins only).
With repeated use and especially with soiled cases being processed, parts
will eventually wear. Replacements are available on the rollsizer.com
website.
Should the Decapper motor trip/ stop working, turn the machine off and let
the power block reset (it only takes a few seconds). If the electrical circuit
breakers or safety fuses supplying the decapper trip out, please do not use
the machine, remove the power lead from the wall socket and ensure the
machine is not used, place an “Out of Service” tag on the
machine if available
and contact your reseller or Rollsizer.com if purchased directly.
