MAINTENANCE

Disconnect electrical power supply(ies) and follow lockout / tagout procedures before performing any maintenance procedure.

LINE STRAINERS

Line strainers used in water or steam lines should be cleaned one week after machine installation and periodically thereafter.

LUBRICATION

A list of acceptable lubricants, as well as the lubricants themselves, are available from your local Hobart Service Office.

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 fill-plug (Fig. 36). The oil level should be at the bottom of the fill-plug hole. Draining the gear case can be achieved by removing the Drain Plug (Fig. 36) and capturing and recycling the drained oil. After rescrewing the Drain Plug back in the hole, use only Mobilgear # 630 to replenish or replace the oil.
