MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE FOR FERROUS HEAD:
•
Gear Box: Maintain safe oil level of oil. Oil should be visible through the sight glass on the
right side of the gear box when machine the is running.
o
Note:
Oil will appear foamy during machine operation. When running at high
speed oil may weep from the filler cap, this is normal and will subside once
machine has expelled out the excess oil in the gear box.
•
Air Oiler: Located on the air regulator. Air must be dry and clean. Use appropriate
measures to ensure this before air enters the machine.
•
Head Feed Cylinder: The oil reservoir is mounted on to the cylinder. The reservoir is
clear, and you can visibly inspect the level. When oil is approximately the depth of 1/4",
oil must be added. To fill the reservoir remove the brass cap on top and add oil into the
reservoir until full and cause the cycle head to bleed.
WARNING LOCK OUT AIR
