2.
Inspect the power feed motor brushes every 750 hours of operation. Remove brush dust
and replace the brushes if they worn to a length of 5/8” (16mm) or shorter.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the power feed system if the feed motor
brushes are worn shorter than 5/8” (16mm). Damage to the feed motor
may result.
3.
Check the power feed gearbox oil level. Add a synthetic gear oil such as Mobil Glygoyle
460 as needed.
Drain and refill the gearbox
with 12 - 15 ounces (0.35 - 0.44L) of oil after every 5000
hours of sawmill operation or every 2 years, whichever comes first.
Wood-Mizer offers replacement gear oil in 8 ounce (0.24L) bottles.
