SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE, DISENGAGE THE
HYDRAULICS, OPEN SHIELD AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
Polyurea and lithium-based greases are not
compatible. Mixing the two grease types may lead to
premature failure.
WARNING
Lubricate the machine periodically with a lithium-based
grease. Extreme working conditions will require more
frequent greasing.
Grease the following points every 50-100 hours of
operating time:
●
Two bearings on the drive shaft.
●
One grease zerk on bearing assembly.
●
One grease zerk on the discharge tube base.
Do not over grease bearings. Overfilling can lead to
excessive heat and/or unseating of the seals. Add
grease slowly and under light pressure. Whenever
possible, rotate bearing slowly while lubricating.
