Never operate the machine until it has been properly lubricated and
all necessary maintenance work has been completed.
NOTE: After changing a setting, making an adjustment, performing
repair/maintenance work, or troubleshooting, please check that all
applicable safety functions are working properly before performing
another operation.
Clean all machinery parts and surrounding areas every day.
Keep a maintenance record and perform recommended
maintenance checks.
8.1 Automatic Lubrication System
Every day, check the oil level in the feed chain lubrication tank before
operating the machine. If the oil level is low or if the feed chain stops,
refill the oil reservoir immediately. Remove the oil cover and pour
the lubricant into the tank until it is 80% full. Do not let the lubricant
overflow. When pouring oil into the tank, be sure impurities and
debris do not get inside.
To order oil for the central lubrication device, call Stiles Machinery
at 1-800-727-8780. The central lubrication device uses the
following oil:
Viscosity
Ambient Temp. Shell Oil
ISO VG
32
0~5ºC
Tonna 32
VG32
68
5~40ºC
Tonna 68
VG68
Never use recycled oil.
Oil level gauge
Be sure the lubrication tank has an adequate supply of oil.
8.2 Manual Lubrication
After first 100 working hours
Change the oil for the feed-chain reduction gears.
1. Remove the oiler filler plug.
2. Loosen the oil discharge screw.
3. Drain all oil into a measurement cup. The same amount of oil
drained should be the same amount of oil used to refill the oil
reservoir.
4. Tighten the oil discharge screw.
5. Add oil to the oil inlet until it rises above the oil level window.
The gear reducer should have an oil level over half full.
Overfilling may cause leakage.
6. Change the oil again after every 2,500 working hours.
