Checking Stomper Assemblies
Within the first five hours of initial machine operation, and after
every 25 hours of operation thereafter, all stomper assemblies
must be checked for excessive lateral play. This must be done or
major machine component failure may result.
1.
Grasp each stomper assembly at the bottom and try to move
the assembly laterally in each direction (Fig 23). Do not
move fore and aft. There should be little or no movement
of the assembly. If there is movement, go to step 2. If there
is little or no movement, check the next assembly.
2.
Remove the roll pin securing the castle nut to the top crank-
shaft (Fig. 21). Check the castle nut for tightness with your
fingers. If the nut is very loose, turn it clockwise until it is
flush against the outer spacer and you feel resistance
(Fig. 24).
3.
Using a torque wrench, turn the nut clockwise (to tighten)
until a slot in the nut aligns with the shaft hole. Do not
exceed 54 Nm. Install the roll pin.
NOTE: The shaft is cross drilled, so only 1/12 turn (max)
should be needed to align the roll pin hole.
General Maintenance
After each use of the machine and after clean up, do the follow-
ing:
1.
Examine the tines for damage and sharpness and repair or
replace, as necessary.
2.
Inspect for signs of leakage, excessive component wear or
component damage. Repair or replace, as necessary.
3.
Thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose without a
nozzle so that contamination and seal and bearing damage
from water pressure will be avoided. A brush may be used
to remove caked-on material. Use mild detergent to clean
the covers. Applying a coat of auto wax periodically will
retain the cover’s glossy finish. After cleaning, inspect for
machine damage, gear oil leakage, component and tine
wear.
