Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is very important that grease fittings on the
broom shaft are lubricated regularly. If broom
rusts to shaft, damage to worm gear may occur
if shear pins do not break.
To prevent wheels rusting to axles, it is also
necessary to remove the wheels and grease the
axles regularly.
1. Apply medium weight (10W) oil to points shown (See
Figures 9-12).
2. Remove wheels and grease axles once each year
(See Figure 11).
3. Apply 5W-50 synthetic motor oil to the friction disk
drive hex shaft.
4. Grease broom drive universal joint (See Figure 12).
NOTE: Access is best gained from underneath
machine.
5. Grease broom pivot pin (See FIgure 12).
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts, pulley grooves, drive disc, and friction disc.
LUBRICATION NOTES:
Grease locations indicated by grease gun sym-
bol. Use grease fittings when present.
Disassemble parts to apply grease to moving
parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Oil locations indicated by oil can symbol. Do
not allow oil to drip onto traction drive or friction
disc.
