Packer
Maintenance
The W
ITTKE
™ packing system has a heavy duty
guiding system using special hardened steel wear
plates. Because of the frequent use of the packer,
Labrie Enviroquip Group recommends the operator to
perform daily inspections and the maintenance
personnel to perform weekly inspections.
Greasing all moving parts on a daily basis is very
important. The proper adjustment of the proximity
switches is also very important (refer to
on page 48 and
