6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance will keep the machine in good working order and ensure maximum reliability and
service from all of its components.
To avoid personal injury, electrical and pneumatic power must be DISCONNECTED at the source prior to
maintenance.
6.1. Cleaning
Clean any debris from the applicator area daily.
Compressed air used for cleaning must be reduced to less than 207 kPa [30 psi] and effective chip guarding and
personal protective equipment (including eye protection) must be used.
If an air–feed assembly is installed, check and replace the air filter element if necessary.
Wipe off the guards with a clean soft cloth.
DO NOT USE ANY SOLVENT TO CLEAN THE GUARDS. Solvent could damage the guards.
6.2. Lubrication
The moving parts of the machine require regular lubrication to ensure reliable service and long life. Use only
Chevron Ultra EP NLGI No. 2, Pennzoil Pennlith Ultra EP NLGI No. 2, or Conoco Syncon EP Heavy Duty
Grease.
For operation in temperatures below 10_C [50_F], it will be necessary to use a No. 1 grease.
Using a grease gun, apply grease every 250,000 cycles to the fittings at the following locations and as shown
in Figure 12:
S
the left side of the ram assembly;
S
the right side of the ram assembly;
S
the left side of the frame just behind the ram assembly at two places; and
Give one pump of grease while the ram is near the top of its stroke and one pump of grease while the ram is near the
bottom of its stroke for best distribution of grease around the bearing.
