General Maintenance for your TERRCO
A. The Lubrication of the Machine
1. The lubrication of the main gear case
a. The main gear case contains Mobilith AW-1 grease.
b. Gear case grease level must be checked once a year. The level of grease in the gear
case should be up to half the thickness of the helical gears. (Ref. No. 20 on the parts
diagram).
2. The Lubrication of the Wheel Bearings.
a. Use grease gun and give a 1/2 shot of grease once every six months on each wheel
with Mobilith AW-1 or equivalent.
3. Location of the grease fittings.
a. Four fittings on bearing caps on top of gear case (Ref. No. 10). Lubricate these
fittings with 2 shots of grease every six months with Mobilith AW-1 or equivalent.
B. Keeping Machine Clean
1. Daily schedule after each day's grinding.
a. Tilt machine back on handle.
b. Clean under carriage with water using garden hose and nozzle.
c. Clean all grease fittings.
2. Do not let any cake-up of cement grinding paste occur as this could create an overload on
your machine as well as more weight to push.
C. Replacement of worn, damaged, or missing parts.
1. Advantages
a. If worn parts (bearings, gears, etc.) are not replaced promptly, serious damage to your
machine could occur.
b. Your machine will operate more efficiently with new TERRCO
2. Use only authorized TERRCO
authorized TERRCO
D. Morflex Flexible Couplings
1. Bolts (Ref. No. 32) should be checked weekly for tightness. Loose bolts cause extreme
vibration and premature failure of rubber inserts in the couplings.
2. Your flexible couplings (Ref. No. 41) should be changed a minimum of once a year
whether you use you machine or not.
E. Stone Wear and Replacement.
1. Check your stones for wear periodically, as the stones may be worn flush with stone
holder plugs and the operator may be grinding with the steel stone spiders.
