MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE.
LUBRICATION
A list of acceptable lubricants, as well as the lubricants themselves, are available from your local Hobart Service Office.
Line Strainers
Line strainers used in water or steam lines should be cleaned one week after machine installation and periodically thereafter.
Motors
All motors have sealed bearings and require no lubrication maintenance.
Conveyor Gearmotor
Check the oil level in the conveyor gearmotor at the unload end of the machine every six months by removing the gear case plug (Fig. 31). The oil level should be at the bottom of the plug hole. The gear case can be drained from the Drain Plug on the front side (Fig. 32). Use only Mobilgear # 630 to replenish or replace.
