Drive Gear and Main Gear Lubrication
1.
Remove the Drive Housing.
2. Inspect both Drive and Main Gears for chips or burrs and clean as required.
3. Coat the teeth of the Drive Gear and the Main Gear with grease approved by
Tri Tool Inc. (See Lubricant Recommendations).
Tool Block Maintenance
1.
Clean the Slide Rails, the Feed Nut, the Sprocket Assy and the Feed Screw.
2. Inspect these parts for damage and replace as required.
3. Lubricate and reassemble the Tool Block. Use lubricant on the Feed Screw
sparingly or wipe to a film condition.
4. Excess lubricant will collect grit and chips and tend to cause thread jamming
and damage.
5. Adjust the Adjustable Slide Rail to provide a firm, but not excessive rotational
pressure on the Sprocket.
6.
The Slide Rails must be over tightened to squeeze the oil into a thin film
against the male and female surfaces of the Slide Rails.
7. Reset for proper operation. If the Mounting Bracket was overstressed, the
Slide Rails may appear to loosen when mounted if they were adjusted off of
the Clamshell.
8. Make the adjustment when mounted for the most satisfactory results.
