600 PTO
SERVICE SCHEDULE
1. Whenever service is to be done to a PTO implement, be sure to disconnect the drive shaft.
2. GREASE all bearings daily. DO NOT OVER GREASE . Wipe extra grease off
bearings.
3.
To sharpen blades : Remove hopper or open door (depending on which model
machine). Remove blades and replace with sharpened ones. It is recommended that
you replace the hardware whenever replacing blades. Be sure to follow the torque
specifications in your manual. Be sure to clean mounting surface before bolting new
blades. Be sure to use Locktite when replacing hardware.
4.
Bed knife adjustment
: This adjustment varies from 1/16” to 1/4”. The larger the
opening, between bed knife and chip blades, the faster the wood will feed and the
harder the machine will have to work. The smaller the opening, the slower it will feed
and the less work the machine will have to do. We recommend 1/8” to 3/16”.
5.
Belt Adjustment : Some machines have v-belts. Tighten these belts by using the
pusher bolts. Put a straight edge from pulley to pulley, and check belt deflection. (See
chart).
6.
Be sure you double-check all nuts and bolts for tightness. A loose bolt can cause total
destruction of the machine.
7. Keep machine clean and free from dirt.
