    Part 1: Service and maintenance, MechFiber380+ model 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this manual This manual has been designed to present the specific information you need to operate and maintain the KEENAN MechFiber380+ model. Further information on general service and maintenance is included in the general KEENAN MechFiber operator’s manual.
  • Page 5 VFC door: Grease the door’s hydraulic cylinders (four fittings) and the slide plates (smear food-grade grease on surfaces). The recommended grease is Ceran FG, supplied by TOTAL Lubricants, or similar food and feed industry-grade grease. Chassis: Grease the hitch pivot tube (where the swivel hitch is fitted). Single axle: Grease all six pivot points listed below: Two on each brake rod (four in total)

  • Page 7 Figure 2: Chain joiner link Note: The ASA120 chain uses split pins in the joiner link, as shown, while the ASA200 chain uses roll pins due to the high loads involved. CAUTION: Failure to maintain oil on the chains may reduce their working life by 90%. Chain damage is not covered by factory warranty.

  • Page 8: Oil Level

    1.4 Oil level The oil reservoir (or sump) is located on the left side of the drive system. Each day, check the level of the oil reservoir. Before checking the oil level, ensure that the machine is sitting level (both front to rear and left to right). An oil-level viewing window has been fitted to the front panel of the drive system and can be viewed through a recess in the lower face of the left-side front cover.

  • Page 9: Chain Tensioning (540 Rpm Driveline)

    1.5 Chain tensioning (540 RPM) With use, the drive chains will extend slightly over time. To compensate for this, all KEENAN MechFiber machines are fitted with a tensioner mechanism on the slack side of the chain. The primary chain tensioner comprises a linear tension arm, which is held in position with a lower connecting arm.
  • Page 10 2. Setting tension on the Rotor and auger chain The tension is set by adjusting the upper spring seat above the tensioner arm. The spring assembly is fitted with an adjustment indicator that uses the upper edge of the spring as its marker.

  • Page 11: Chain Tensioning (1000 Rpm Driveline)

    1.6 Chain tensioning (1000 RPM) Primary chain: This preload tension can be set by loosening the locknut and adjusting the upper spring seat. The correct tension will be applied to the chain when the compression spring is compressed to 165 mm, as shown below on the right. Secondary chain: This preload tension can be set by loosening the locknut and adjusting the upper spring seat.

  • Page 12: Greasing

    1.7 Greasing The KEENAN MechFiber380+ is fitted with a 10-port central greasing manifold as standard, located at the upper left side of the machine inside the front cover. It allows for the greasing of all the inaccessible grease points of the drive system of the machine from that one location. The tables below outlines the points where greasing should be practiced at regular intervals and where particular grease points are located.

  • Page 15: Blade Maintenance

    1.8 Blade maintenance Blade sharpening and/or replacement: It is recommended that only KEENAN-trained and/or qualified maintenance personnel should perform this task. Blades need to be kept sharp. Blunt blades will increase power requirements. Sharpening must be done without taking the temper from the blades (i.e., without overheating). Blades can be sharpened many times, but when they reach the point where this is no longer practical, they must be replaced.

  • Page 16: Tyres

    Figure 11: U-bolt position on bogie axle 1.11 Tyres Each week, check the tyres for wear and damage. Each week, check the tyre pressure. Optimal tyre pressures are shown in Table 6. This information is given as guidance. If in doubt, please contact your KEENAN service partner. WARNING: When refitting and re-inflating tyre/wheel assemblies, a safety cage should be used to prevent possible injury.

  • Page 17: Hitch Height Adjustment

    1.12 Hitch height adjustment The hitches of the KEENAN MechFiber380+ have been designed to allow for a number of various hitch height options with the same components used. The hitch height is normally selected for the application and set at the factory per the options below. The main standard hitch assembly is a bolt-on assembly, and once the main setting is completed at the factory, it may also be adjusted on-farm by moving the assembly up or down within the bolt holes or turning the complete hitch over, as it is suitable to operate facing either way up.
