Maintenance
Lubrication is absolutely essential in order for the machine to achieve
maximum performance. Lubricants which can come into contact with food
must be approved by the respective official monitoring authority.
Recommended lubricants are edible fat (EF), machine oil
without detergents (O-10) and water-resistant lubricant grease
(WRLG).
Examples:
OKS 470 high performance lubricating grease
or OPTIMOL long time balance
Important !
Pull the mains plug!
The machine is easily accessible for all maintenance work when the
panelling is removed and the machine hood is open. We recommend you
proceed as per the following steps:
First proceed as described on pages 12 to 14 (points 1 to 5). Check that all
ring components are firmly in place. Check the ring rollers for wear and
replace them as necessary. Check the tension of the V-belt (ring drive) and
the roller chain (aggregate drive). The inside of the drive belt and the
profile of both belt pulleys must be clean and free of grease. Grease the
roller chain sufficiently as necessary. Oil the knotting aggregate at the
designated points (marked red). Grease the bevel wheel drive (knotter),
toothed wheels (toothed segment), all cams and cam rollers. Sufficiently
lubricate the knotting roller, knotting dome and knotting lock, knife lever
and knife lever lug, tip-up and tip-up lever, link rod joint, stripper axle and
knotting shafts. Check all springs and replace them as necessary. Check the
sharpness of the string knife. The string must be severed cleanly during the
cutting process. There must be no individual threads protruding from the
cuts. Clean the twine button and check for sharp edges. First screw out the
countersunk screw M3x6 then actuate the twine button lever (see chapter
"Inserting the string"). This causes the twine button to be pushed backwards
(away from the twine button housing). Then shift the twine button (leave
the twine button lever actuated at all times) to the twine button housing with
your left hand. This frees up the setting screw No. 15 (assembly M3) so that it
can be unscrewed and removed. The twine button can then be removed.
The twine button must not have any signs of damage on any part of the
surface. The same applies to the surface of the twine button housing.
