GeneralRollers
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1128/G1129 Power Feeder will ensure its opti- mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your Power Feeder each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.
Caution: Always perform any maintenance with the power off and the machine unplugged.
1.Loose mounting bolts.
2.Worn switch.
3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
Drive Gears
Lubricate drive gears and chains with grease after every 80 hours of operation. Clean and lubri- cate all the machined surfaces with light machine oil.
Each of the three roller wheels is fitted with a grease fitting. Lubricate after every 80 hours of use. The G1129 comes with a grease gun. The G1128 requires purchasing a grease gun from your local hardware store.
Replace rollers when they become worn or dis- figured. Rollers may be ordered through the Grizzly parts department. Contact the appropriate service department.
Clean the wheels when they become dirty. Use a moist brush with light detergent. Do not allow dirty wheels to leave unwanted marks on your work- piece.
Gearbox Lubrication
The internal gearbox oil should be drained and replaced after every 500 hours of operation. A drain plug at the top of the wheel housing pro- vides access for removal of old oil. Remove the motor/wheel apparatus from the pivot joint, remove the plug, tip over and drain. Be careful not to get oil all over the motor.
