PILLOW BLOCK BEARINGS – MACHINE CLUTCH SHAFTS
Machine main shaft bearings should be lubricated every month of operation. Do not over lubricate. One to
two pumps from a hand operated gun is sufficient.
FLANGED BEARINGS
Bearings should be lubricated every 6 months of operation if equipped with a grease fitting. Bearings
without fittings are considered lubricated for life. Do not over lubricate. One to two pumps from a hand
operated gun is sufficient.
BELTS
Do not use belt dressing. Belt dressing will collect material and cause the belts to slip and/or wear faster.
There is no substitute for keeping belts dry, free of oil and grease, and tight. Replace worn and deteriorated
belts as required. All belt driven components are equipped with take up adjustment.
BLOWER
Check the oil level weekly in the blower by turning the brass valve 90 degrees to check. A small amount
should appear indicating sufficient oil. Follow manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule as
specified in the enclosed blower manual. CTMW fills Roots blower with synthetic 15W-40 motor oil or
equivalent. After 100 hours of operation, drain while warm and refill with fresh lubricant. Thereafter, change
every six months or 1000 hours machine time. The bearings on the drive end of the blower should be grease
lubricated once a month.
RIGHT ANGLE GEARBOX - PTO MODELS
Check the oil level weekly in the gearbox. The gearbox is filled with synthetic gear oil 80w140 or equivalent.
The proper oil level is at the plug halfway up the rear of the housing. After 500 hours of operation, drain
while warm. Thoroughly flush housing with light flushing oil and refill with fresh lubricant. Thereafter, change
and flush every two years or 4000 hours machine time.
TRANSMISSION
Check the oil level weekly in the transmission. The transmission is filled with Mobil gear oil 626 or equivalent.
The proper oil level is marked at the front of the housing. After 100 hours of operation, drain while warm.
Thoroughly flush housing with light flushing oil and refill with fresh lubricant. Thereafter, change and flush
every six months or 1000 hours machine time.
WARNING: Make all checks with the industrial engine off or PTO drive disengaged. All machine electrical
is powered by the engine or truck battery. In order to check electrical functions the following has to
happen; turn master switch on, twist emergency stop buttons out (on), and push the reset. If an
emergency stop button is pushed in during troubleshooting, remember to push the reset button.
Additionally, if the battery is weak (low voltage), the electrical may not work. This condition may also be
caused by loose or corroded battery connections.
