PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
•
Bearings can be easily greased from above without removing any guards or housings.
There are six greaseable bearings on each BERM BLASTER. Grease the bearings once per
every three days of use.
DO NOT OVER GREASE.
Over greasing can be identified by
grease pushing out around the seal of the bearing. If this occurs you should replace the
bearing immediately.
•
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of any implement. With careful
inspection and routine maintenance, costly downtime and repairs can be avoided.
•
Some parts and assemblies can be quite heavy. Before attempting to unfasten any part or
assembly, arrange to support it by means of a hoist, by blocking or by use of an adequate
arrangement to keep it from falling, tipping, swinging or moving in any manner which may
hurt somebody or damage the equipment.
•
Always use lifting equipment that is adequately rated to do the job. Never lift equipment
over people.
•
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a
closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
•
Before working on the equipment, stop the towing vehicle, set the brakes, disengage the
PTO and all power drives, shut off the engine and
remove the ignition keys
.
•
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting
to perform maintenance.
•
Always
use a safety support and block the wheels. Never use a jack to support the
equipment.
•
Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
•
Use extreme caution when making adjustments.
•
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five bolts unless otherwise specified.
•
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.
•
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine
factory replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications.
The manufacturer will not claim responsibility for use of unapproved parts and/or
accessories and other damages as a result of their use.
•
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not
accept any liability for injury or warranty.
