Lubricate the Casters and Wheels
Extremely dirty conditions may require that the
casters and wheels be inspected and lubricated
more often.
1 Visually inspect each caster and wheel for cuts,
cracks or unusual wear.
2 Move the machine on a flat smooth surface and
check that the casters and wheels roll
smoothly, free of hesitation and binding.
3 Pump grease into the caster or wheel until it
can be seen coming out of the bearing gap.
Grease Type
Lithium-based
C-2
Inspect the Mast Assembly
for Wear
Detection of excessive or unusual wear in the
mast assembly is essential for safe machine
operation. An unsafe working condition exists if
the mast assembly has excessive wear and/or
does not operate smoothly, free of hesitation and
binding.
Attach an overhead crane or similar lifting
device to the lifting bracket on the mast. Rotate
the carriage hold down bar over the carriage.
2 Lift the machine slightly and then guide it over
onto an appropriate support. The mast
assembly should be level with the carriage up.
Crushing hazard. The machine
will fall unless it is properly
supported with the overhead
crane.
3 Visually inspect the top of each column for
clearance between the roller wheel and the
adjacent column surface.
0 Result: There should be a maximum gap of
0.062 inches (1.57 mm) between the roller
wheel and the column .
