Maintenance Instructions
Read and follow all the maintenance instructions
provided in this manual to keep the machine in
good operating condition. Refer to the other materials
received with the unit and to the service bulletins
from the manufacturer for additional instructions on
proper maintenance and service. Regular inspections
and proper maintenance are essential to preventing
accidents and injuries.
Before making any inspection, adjustment,
or repair, disconnect the power source
and block out all moving parts to prevent
injury.
Keep the machine and the immediate work
area clean. Do not use compressed air to
remove dirt and debris from the machine.
Foreign material may be propelled into the
air and into operator or bystander causing
personal injury.
Wear protective clothing, equipment and
eye protection when making any adjust-
ments or repairs to the machine.

a month. See instructions this page.
3.
The pedestal, steel Duckhead, and other work-

Important:
These instructions will help you service
the unit. Instructions are for a person with some
mechanical ability and training. No attempt has been
made to describe all basic steps. For example, how
to loosen or tighten fasteners. Also basic procedures
such as cycling systems and checking operation of
the equipment are not fully described since they are
known to anyone who does mechanical and service
work. Do not attempt to perform work beyond your
