MAINTENANCE

HARDWARE

Most nuts and bolts will stay tight and therefore need only periodic checking. However, the following nuts and bolts are extremely important and should receive special attention:

Spindle Housing Bolts:Tighten to 400 Ft./Lbs. Torque

Blade Bolts:

Tighten to 250 Ft./Lbs. Torque

Blade Bar Bolts:Tighten to 400 Ft./Lbs. Torque

Be certain to clamp or securely support the Spindle Housing and sub-assemblies to prevent injuries to hands and feet due to inadvertent dropping or falling over.

Always wear safety glasses and gloves to prevent eye and hand injury when chiseling or hammering on metal components. Hardened metal will chip un-expected.

An assembled spindle housing is quite heavy. Use a hoist or get help to handle them safely. Lift carefully and properly using your legs to lift - NOT YOUR BACK.

Cylinder Rod Maintenance

It is important to visually inspect the hydraulic cylinder rods daily before use. It is highly recommended that while the machine is stored or getting very little use that a protectant is applied to the hydraulic cylinder rods to prevent degradation. If the machine receives more frequent use, be sure to fully cycle each cylinder function so that the cylinder rod is coated by the systems hydraulic fluid. Depending on your operating environment it may be necessary, under normal operating conditions, to apply a protective lubricant to the cylinder rods for protection against rust and pitting. Hydraulic fluid may provide a suitable amount of protection, but remember any protectant can attract dust and debris so attention must be given to the cylinder rods daily. Also remember that any other protectant must be compatible with hydraulic fluid. Alamo Industrial is not responsible for rust or pitting of the cylinder rod due to weather exposure or impacts from normal operation or mounting. If hydraulic cylinders and or the cylinder rods are damaged as a result of the rods rusting or pitting, the hydraulic cylinders and rods will not be covered under warranty by Alamo Industrial.
