Lubricating your FMMH-3.1 should be done at least once every
12 months; however, it may be necessary to lubricate certain
parts more often depending on use. Whenever a moveable or
adjustable part starts becoming difficult to move or adjust, it may
be time to lubricate.
Loosen the Shroud Locking Knob on each side of the Shroud, but
do not remove them. Remove the Hand Wheel Lock Knobs by
turning them counter-clockwise. Turn the Hand Wheels until the
slot at the inside end of the wheel is facing straight up. Remove
the Hand Wheels. Remove the two (2) 1/8” button head screws
and the washers that they secure in place. Disconnect the electri-
cal wiring to the switches inside the rear of the Shroud. Remove
the Shroud by lifting straight up.
Lubricate the two (2) Idler Pulleys with a good grade of grease. A
grease gun is required (not included). Rotate the belts by hand
to check the Idler Pulleys for wear. Some play between the Idler
Pulley Bearings and the Idler Pins comply with original specifica -
tions and is not a problem. Refer to diagram 5-10.
Lubricate the Head Traverse Screws by applying light grease ei-
ther by hand, or a small brush to the points indicated in diagram
5-20. Move the heads to both extremes to coat the complete
surface of the screws and inspect them for thread wear.
Apply a light grease on the two (2) Traverse Rods either by hand
or with a small brush to the points indicated in diagram 5-30.
Crank both heads in and out to distribute the lubrication and to
check the head movement.
