MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
ELECTRIC MOTOR SERVICE. Application: 8FP/E Series Floor Planer.
The electric motor is capable of operating for many years with a reasonably small amount of maintenance. Before attempting to service the motor, disconnect the Floor Planer from the power source. Clean the motor surfaces periodically, preferably with a vacuum cleaner. Heavy accumulations of dirt and lint will result in overheating and premature failure of the motor.
The electric motor is equipped with higher capacity ball bearings and under normal service and ambient temperatures, should not require relubrication for many years. If you feel that the motor requires relubrication, contact the local representative of the motor manufacturer for specific information.
The seals utilized with the motor are intended to deliver a longer service life in a concrete dust environment. When replacing the seals, utilize only components meeting the original factory specifications.
ENGINE SERVICE.
Application: 8FP/G Series Floor Planer.
Consult the material supplied by the engine manufacturer for specific service and maintenance information regarding:
1)Muffler
2)Spark Plug
3)Air Filter System
4)Carburetor Adjustment
5)Ignition System
6)Short and Long Term Storage
7)Maximum Governed Engine Speed
8)Emission Standards
Keep this information stored with the Operator's Manual for the Floor Planer so it will always be available for use when the engine requires service or maintenance. A properly maintained engine will add considerably to the service life and overall productivity of the Floor Planer.
CAUTION
Because the planing process produces high levels of random vibration, it is essential that the maximum governed engine speed be checked at regular, established intervals. Excessive engine speed can produce vibration induced forces that can dramatically affect component service life. Stress related cracking and resulting failure to mufflers, blower shrouds, belt guards and other components can result from excessive engine speed.
