Section 6 - Processor Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. It is very important that
these maintenance functions be performed as described below.
Safety first! Read and understand the safety instructions
( pg.2-1 )
before beginning any processor maintenance operation.
Repairs
• Wear safety glasses and use metal or wood when searching for leaks. Do not use your hands.
• Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
•
Lower fork to the ground.
• When making repairs, use only genuine Tubeline parts or, for fasteners, hydraulic hoses or
hydraulic fittings, use only properly rated parts.
•
Replace broken “Boss” flails to keep machine in balance.
• Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
• PTO shear bolt replacement must be done only with shear bolts of the same grade and diameter
supplied on the drive-line.
• When lubricating drive-line telescoping shafts, it is imperative that yokes remain phased. In order
to maintain phasing, the flat profile of the inner tube must be engaged with the flat profile of the
outer tube. Failure to do so will result in damage to cross and bearings and premature shearing of
the shear bolt.
• Steam-clean the power unit before any installation is made to the hydraulic system.
•
Make certain that all parts meet the specifications for this product when installing or replacing
hydraulic hoses or fittings.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
IMPORTANT
The flail tube on this machine is a fully balanced assembly. If for any reason the flails must be
removed, they must be returned to the same position they were taken from. If this is not done a
balance problem will result in causing machine vibration. Number flails and inserts and their positions
before you do any work.
