SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged wheel rubber.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span. If the wheels become loaded up with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe them clean using a clean rag and a mild solvent. Avoid touching the plastic or paint with mineral spirits or you may damage the surfaces.

Lubrication

•To prevent surface rust and binding, peri- odically clean and oil all lock lever and lead screw threads with a light machine oil.

•After the first 200 hours of use, or after the first month, change the gearbox oil with 3.5 fluid ounces of a good automotive grade 80-90W gear oil. For the remaining life of the power feeder, change the oil every 1000 hours, or every 6 months. Note: To drain the unit, remove the fill plug labeled "OIL" and invert the power feeder.

•Every 40 hours of use, or once every two weeks, wipe clean and lubricate the wheel grease fittings (Figure 14) with one pump from a grease gun filled with automotive grade GL-2 grease.
