Premaintenance
Procedures
Important: The fasteners on the covers of this machine
are designed to remain on the cover after removal.
Loosen all of the fasteners on each cover a few turns so
that the cover is loose but still attached, then go back
and loosen them until the cover comes free. This will
prevent you from accidentally stripping the bolts free
of the retainers.

Service Interval Chart
Lubrication
Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
The machine has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 general-purpose, lithium-based grease. If
the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate
all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation.
Lubricating bearings and bushings daily when operating
conditions are extremely dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty
operating conditions could cause dirt to get into the bearings
and bushings, resulting in accelerated wear. Lubricate the
grease fittings immediately after every washing, regardless of
interval specified.
1. Wipe the grease fittings clean so that foreign matter
cannot be forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the fittings.
3. Wipe off excess grease.
Note: Bearing life can be negatively affected by improper
wash down procedures. Do not wash down the unit when it
is still hot and avoid directing high-pressure or high volume
spray at the bearings or seals.
