SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - UNPLUG THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO DOING ANY SERVICE ON THIS EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO REMOVE POWER TO THIS EQUIPMENT BEFORE SERVICING MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. IF POWER IS REQUIRED FOR TESTING OR TROUBLESHOOTING, THIS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL OR LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
SERVICE DATA - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - SKILL AND TRAINING REQUIRED FOR SERVICING This Service Manual is designed for technicians who have the necessary mechanical and electrical knowledge and skills to reliably test and repair the Bedknife Grinder. For those without that background, service can be arranged through a local distributor.
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION OF LINEAR BEARINGS STEP 1--Thoroughly clean the shafts. STEP 2--Flood spray the two shafts with a spray lubricant (do not use a teflon based lubricant) until the lubricant is dripping off the shafts. Then run the carriage back and forth through its full range of travel.

MAINTENANCE CARRIAGE LINEAR BEARING REPLACEMENT LINEAR BEARING 1. Remove the optional carriage bellows (if used) from the carriage. 2. Remove the four screws of one linear bearing and slide the linear bearing off the end of the carriage shaft. 3. Insert a new linear bearing onto the end of the carriage shaft with the tension adjustment screw pointing outward.

See the warning above. 4. See FIG. 4 which illustrates which parts to return to Foley United. Make certain the bearing shipping guide is in place and then wrap the assembly in heavy paper and tape. Package the two magnet assemblies in a very sturdy shipping container with adequate filler material around and between the magnet assemblies.
Page 12
MAINTENANCE - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - 7. Once the bearing is successfully on the profile rail, pump three pumps of grease from a standard grease gun into the bearing. Wipe off any excess grease that is visible. Then remove the grease fitting and install the plug supplied to you in the return package.

MAINTENANCE - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS Adherence to regular and proper cleaning procedures is recommended to preserve appearance and performance. DO NOT USE GASOLINE to clean polycarbonate windows! WASHING TO MINIMIZE SCRATCHING Wash polycarbonate windows with a mild dish-washing liquid detergent and lukewarm water, using a clean soft sponge or a soft cloth.
ADJUSTMENTS - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - TO ADJUST THE PROXIMITY SWITCHES For the proximity switches to work properly and reverse the direction of the carriage at each end of a traverse, a distance of 3/16 in. +/- 1/32 [4.75 mm +/- 0.75] must be maintained between the 3/16IN.±1/32 top of the switch and the actuator bracket on the (4.75MM±0.75)
Page 15
ADJUSTMENTS - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - 3/4” TRAVERSE BELT TENSION To adjust the tension on the traverse belt tighten the screws and nuts located at the right side of the traverse belt. Tighten nuts until the compression springs measure 3/4". See FIG. 7. If the springs are not tensioned equally, uneven loading on the traverse system may cause parts to fail.

ADJUSTMENTS (Continued) - ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - TO ELIMINATE INFEED HANDWHEEL BACKLASH If there is backlash in the Grinder Head Infeed handwheel (FIG. 20), there are two adjustment points on each to check: 1. Washers behind the handwheel: A. Remove the setscrew holding the calibration ring to the handwheel.
