Grizzly G0634Z manual Schedule, Cleaning, Belts

SECTION 6: 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:

•Clean unpainted cast iron parts of jointer and planer tables

•Lubricate feed rollers

Weekly Check:

•Clean cutterhead

Monthly Check:

•Inspect V-belt tension, damage, or wear

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off motor

•Lubricate worm gear

•Lubricate roller chains

•Lubricate elevation lead screw

•Lubricate worm shaft

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning. We recommend products like SLIPIT®, G96® Gun Treatment, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 32 for more details).

V-Belts

V-belt removal and replacement involves remov- ing the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys, replacing them with new belts, then retensioning them.

Always replace V-belts as a set, or belt tension may not be even among the belts and may cause premature belt failure.

Consider replacing stock belts with Power Twist V-belts (see Page 32) to reduce vibration and noise, and increase belt lifespan.

To adjust/replace belts the V-belts:

1.DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Remove the five hex bolts securing the V-belt cover (see Figure 46).
