MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
MAINTENANCE
1. Clean excess dirt and grit from machine daily.
2. Wipe off the auto traverse drive shaft daily./
3. Carriage front rail boots should be lifted and
wiped off daily.
4. Replace the two (externaly) foam rail wipers
every 20 hours of operation.
5. Check all fastening bolts monthly to be sure
they are tight.
6. Check gib plate adjustment in the grinder car-
riage base monthly.
7. Check the brushes on the auto traverse drive
motor once a year. Replace as necessary.
LUBRICATION OF ACTUATOR AND
LINEAR BEARINGS
STEP 1
– Thoroughly clean all three shafts and
seals. If you have compressed air available, blow
off the shafts, carriage, seals, grinder base, etc.
NOTE:
Always point the compressed air nozzle
away from the seals bearings to insure you do not
drive foreign material into the bearings. Then
wipe off the shafts and seals and blow off a
second time. If you do not have compressed air,
then thoroughly wipe off the shafts and seals. As
part of this cleaning the carriage should be trav-
ersed several times to insure all areas are clean.
STEP 2-
Flood spray all three shafts with either
WD40 or Tri-Flow Lubricant or our lubricant part
No. 3708201, until the lubricant is dripping off the
shafts. Then run the carriage black and forth
through its range of travel. This will carry the
lubricant into the actuator and bearings.
NOTE:
Because of the flood of lubricant you may
find that the actuator slips and traversing is erratic
or stalls. This is not a problem as it will be cor-
rected in the subsequent steps.
STEP 3-
With a clean rag, wipe off the excess
amount of lubricant from the shafts. Run the
carriage back and forth through its range of travel
and wipe the shafts after each traverse. Repeat
until the shaft are dry to the feel. This completes
the lubrication process.
LUBRICATION FREQUENCY
The lubrication frequency should be every four
hours of grinder operation or more often if a
squeaking noise is coming from the linear
actuator. If the unit will be shut down for an
extended period of time, more than two weeks,
then the shafts and other appropriate parts of
the unit should be flooded with lubricant and that
lubricant left in place until the unit is brought
back into service. When the unit is brought back
into service the full lubrication procedure as
stated above should be repeated.
