Maintenance
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine
must be run after a maintenance operation make sure the area is
well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas! Exposure can cause loss of consciousness and may result in
death.
6.1 Cleaning
Clean the machine daily, being careful to remove cutting dust and
slurry from the blade guard engine cooling fan and air ducts. Failure
to perform this operation may prevent smooth control of the saw.
Steam cleaning is the preferred method of cleaning.
6. Engine Maintenance
Engine maintenance and adjustment is necessary to keep the
saw in good operating condition. Maintenance operations include
oil changes, filter changes, air cleaner, spark plug, fuel filter, etc.
Perform all maintenance procedures as recommended by the Honda
Engine Manual provided separately.
For a new engine, it is especially important to change the oil after the
first 5 hours of operation. Thereafter, change the oil after every 100
hours of operation as per the engine manufacturer’s manual.
NOTICE:
Always dispose of used engine oil and filters in a responsible
manner. Follow your community’s standards for disposing of these items.
Call your local recycling center to find out about recycling engine oil.
6. Grease Points
There are four (4) grease points (zerk fittings) on the
Wacker BFS-Series concrete saw.
The blade shaft bearing grease points need to be serviced at the end of
operations on a daily basis. The rest of the grease points require service
on a weekly basis (see maintenance schedule).
The two blade shaft grease points are accessed from underneath by tilting
the saw back. The raise/lower adjustment tube grease point is accessed
from the inside of tower control box.
The transmission drive spline shaft bearings are accessed from the inside
of tower control box and by raising the front of the saw to access from
underneath the frame.
