  • Page 18: Section 3 - Maintenance

    SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Section 3 – Maintenance Tools Required Adjustable wrench Phillips screwdriver Cleaning and Service Tips • The slurry cup rotators are moved on fluorocarbon polymer bearings that have low friction resistance and require only occasional lubrication. It is recommended that the rotators be examined periodically and lubricated with light lubricating oil.
