Inspection and Cleanup after
Use
After daily use, thoroughly wash the machine with a
garden hose
without
a nozzle so contamination and seal
and bearing damage due to excessive water pressure will
be avoided. A brush may be used to remove caked-on
material. Use mild detergent to clean the covers. After
cleaning, grease all drive lines and roller bearings,
inspect for machine damage, oil leakage, component
and tine wear.
Do not oil the O-ring drive chain.
Remove, clean and oil the tines. Spray a light oil mist on
coring head bearings (crank & damper links).
Clean and coat the springs with a dry lubricant like
graphite or silicone.
