Motor Lubrication
The drive motor bearings are sealed and require no lubrication. Do not oil the motor, it will cause
more harm than good.
Sign Lighting
Remove the sign retaining angle from the top of the dome, by removing the four screws that hold it
into place, and then slide the sign out to access the LED strips.
Changing Belts
Unplug your machine. (On units manufactured before 3-1-95.) Raise the hopper lid until the lug on
the right hand side can be lifted out of its slot in the hinge bracket. Slide the lug on the left hand side
out of the hinge bracket, and remove the hopper lid. Remove the two bolts which hold the hinge
bracket to the machine. The dome can now be removed. (On units manufactured after 3-1-95).
Remove the four dome hold down screws. Loosen the four motor hold down bolts and slide the
motor toward the center of the hopper, loosening the belt. Remove the old belt and install a new
one.
Lubrication of Thrust Bearing and Adjustment of End Play
The small thrust bearing should be lubricated approximately once per season. Unplug your machine.
Remove the dome. To do this, remove the two screws which hold the bracket in place, and carefully
lay the bracket face down on the top frame. A large hex adjustment nut is located below the pulley on
the shaver shaft. Loosen the set screw in the side of the hex nut. Loosen the adjustment nut as much
as possible, so it is up against the pulley. NOTE: This nut is of the airplane locking type, therefore, it
will turn hard on its threads at all times. By grasping the pulley, hold the shaft upward as much as
you can, and press some grease into the thrust bearing located below the adjustment nut. Use any
variety of sticky type grease, such as water pump grease or Alpha Molykote Corp., No. 505
"Whitekote" lubricant (recommended by the bearing manufacturer). After the grease has been
applied, screw the adjusting nut downwards until all play up and down is removed. Do not tighten
any further. Now tighten the set screw and reassemble your machine.
Removal and Replacement of Glass
To remove glass from the frame, grip the retaining vinyl with needle nose pliers at a corner and
pull. Repeat for each corner of glass. With the vinyl removed, carefully remove the glass. To install
new glass, place the glass in the frame, making sure the glass does not enter the channel intended
for the vinyl. Starting at a corner, install the vinyl into the channel (make sure it locks into place). A
knife handle with a rounded point is useful in pushing the vinyl into position. Obtain Tempered
glass from a local hardware store, in the following sizes:
Front Glass (1 required) — 20" x 24" x
Side Glass (2 required) — 16" x 20" x
NEVER STRETCH THE BELT WHEN INSTALLING THE PULLEY.
ALWAYS LOOSEN THE HOLD DOWN BOLTS. After the new belt is
installed, move the motor to the left by hand as far as possible, making
sure the belt is tight. Re-tighten the motor hold down bolts. NEVER
USE A PRY BAR OR BOARD TO MOVE THE MOTOR.
