FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — MAINTENANCE

Blade Shaft Bearing Replacement

The FS 1 is supported by “tapped" base lock collar self-aligning blade shaft bearings. These heavy duty bearings support the 1- 1/4 blade shaft, and have grease (zerk) points (Figures 24 and 25) conveniently located for service.

3.To loosen the tension on the two V-belts perform the follow- ing:

zRemove the V-belt cover (Figure 14).

zLoosen the engine adjustment bolts (Figure 26).

zPosition the engine to allow for slack in the V-belts.

Replacement of the Blade Shaft Bearings

Perform the following to replace the "blade shaft bearings". Reference Blade Shaft Assembly drawing, page 40:

4.Remove both the right and left hand blade shaft nuts from the blade shaft.

5.Remove the blade flanges ( items 3 and 4)

6.Remove pulley set screw (item 8), and slide pulley (item 9 ) off blade shaft.

7.Remove (4) hex head cap screws (item 16) to free the blade shaft assembly from the saw frame.

8.Remove the set screws from the pillow block bearing, then slide the bearing(s) off the blade shaft.

9.Position the new blade shaft bearing(s) onto the blade shaft and ensure that the bearing's zerk fitting is oriented forward.

10.Re-install blade shaft nuts, pulley and blade shaft flanges in the reverse order that they were removed.

11.Reposition the V-belts onto the blade shaft pulley, and realign the V-belts for parallelism (Figure 15) as required.

12.Tighten the V-belts by adjusting the engine adjustment bolts.

13.Replace the V-belt cover guard.
