INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
WARNING!
1.
Never perform any services or maintenance on the Concrete Saw while it
is running. Before performing any inspection, maintenance, and cleaning, turn off the
Engine (30) and disconnect the Spark Plug to prevent accidental starting. Then, allow
the Engine to completely cool.
Before each use:
2.
Inspect the general condition of the Concrete Saw. Check for loose
bolts and nuts, misalignment, binding of moving parts, loose or broken parts, Engine
problems, dull or damaged Saw Blade, and any other condition that may affect the
safe operation of the Concrete Saw. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the
Concrete Saw immediately and have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not
use damaged equipment.
Engine maintenance:
3.
Refer to the Engine manufacturer’s service manual for
instructions.
V-Belt maintenance:
4.
The V-Belts (35) require periodic adjustment for proper tension
and alignment.
Tension:
a.
Tighten frequently during the first few days of operation and check
periodically thereafter. Tighten the V-Belts just enough to prevent slippage. Do
not overtighten as excessive wear will occur to the V-Belts and Bearings. To
adjust the V-Belts, loosen the Engine bolts and slide the Engine backwards
or forwards to loosen or tighten the V-Belts. For fine, adjustment, use the
Engine Adjustment Bolt located near the front of the Engine.
(See Engine
manufacturer’s service manual)
Alignment:
b.
The Engine Pulley (34) and Blade Shaft Pulley (!2) should be parallel
when properly aligned. To do so, place a straight edge along the face of the
Pulleys and check to see if they are parallel. Loosen the Pulleys, and readjust if
necessary.
(See Assembly Diagram)
V-Belt replacement:
5.
When replacing worn out V-Belts (35), make sure you replace
the V-Belts with a matching set of new V-Belts. To do so, loosen the Pulleys (34, 12)
and replace the V-Belts. Correct tension is obtained when there is approximately ¼”
deflection of the V-Belts at the center span of the Engine Pulley (34) and Blade Shaft
Pulley (12). After replacement, run the Concrete Saw at ¾ speed for 15 minutes to seat
the V-Belts. Then, open to full throttle to check for V-Belt slippage.
(See Assembly
Diagram)
Bearing maintenance:
6.
The Blade Shaft Bearing (9) should be lubricated every 8 hours
of operation.
Use the rust inhibiting, lithium base grease with a consistency of NLGI 3.
a.
Thoroughly clean the Grease Fitting (41).
b.
Apply grease slowly while rotating the Blade Shaft Bearing (9) until fresh grease
c.
purges from the Bearing.
To prevent damaging the Bearing Seals, avoid applying excessive pressure.
d.
(See Assembly Diagram)
To clean:
7.
Thoroughly clean the Concrete Saw at the end of each day’s operation with
clean water and mild detergent. Do not pour water over the Engine (30). Refer to the
Engine manufacturer’s service manual for all inspection, maintenance, and cleaning
procedures.
