SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
BEFORE INSPECTING OR SERVICING ANY PART OF THIS MACHINE, SHUT OFF POWER SOURCE,
DISENGAGE THE HYDRAULICS AND MAKE SURE ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
WARNING
NOTE
Polyuria and lithium based greases are not compatible.
Mixing the two grease types may lead to premature failure
of the chipper.
NOTE
The use of pneumatic grease equipment is not recommended
unless low pressure is assured.
Mounted bearings are pre-lubricated at our factory and are ready
for operation.
LUBRICATION
Lubrication of bearings is determined by operating conditions
and environment. Lubricate standard bearings with a LITHIUM
based grease. Greasing intervals are shown on the next page
using the following symbol:
Frequency (50 hours)
GREASING INTERVALS
Bearings in extreme environments will require more frequent
greasing intervals.
GREASE FILL AMOUNTS
It is preferred that experience dictate fill amounts due to wide
variances in applications, greasing equipment and operating
conditions. In most cases, it is best to lubricate in small amounts,
under low pressure, until a thin bead of fresh grease is visible at
the seal lip area.
5.6 GREASING
Care should be taken when greasing bearings to avoid overfilling.
Overfilling can lead to excessive heat and/or unseating of the
seals Grease should be introduced in small amounts and under
light pressure. Whenever possible, the bearing should be
rotated slowly while grease is added to ensure equal distribution
throughout the raceways.
The chipper models described in this manual have several
bearings that require greasing. Refer to the figures on the next
page for greasing locations and intervals.
