MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
WARNING: Maintenance must be done by
authorized personnel only.
Clean your machine frequently. It will have longer
life and need fewer repairs.

Lubrication

The Polisher is completely lubricated. The bearings
and gears in the gear unit have enough lubricant for
two or three years of normal operation. All other
bearings are sealed and have enough lubricant for
the life of the machine.

Motor And Gears

Remove or blow dust and dirt from the motor
frequently.

Repairs

If repairs to the gear unit or motor are needed, do not
disassemble the gears and motor! Return the ma-
chine to the nearest Clarke Technology Service
Branch or Clarke Technology Authorized Service
Center.

Maintenance Inspection

Return the machine to a Clarke Technology Autho-
rized Service location every 12 months for mainte-
nance inspections.

Lever To Lock The Handle

The locking mechanism for the handle can become
loose. Tighten the nut on the end of the cross link bolt.
The pressure of the locking lever is correct when the
handle can be adjusted easily and fastened as needed.

Maintenance Of Brushes

Always remove the brush from the machine when not
in use. Keep brushes in a cool, dry location. Heat can
damage the wood and the bristles. Scrub brushes
with bassine fibers must be put in water for 16 hours
to replace moisture and give the bristles a longer life.
