Important: These instructions will help you service
the unit. Instructions are for a person with some
mechanical ability and training. No attempt has been
made to describe all basic steps. For example, how to
loosen or tighten fasteners. Also basic procedures such
as cycling systems and checking operation of the equip-
ment are not fully described since they are known to
anyone who does mechanical and service work. Do not
attempt to perform work beyond your ability or at which
you have no experience. If you need assistance, call an
authorized service center.
A. The vertical slide should be cleaned with a vapor-
izing solvent and then lubricated with chassis grease
once a month.
B. Check the adjustment of the Duckhead® (mount /
demount tool) once a month.
C. Check the fluid level in the table top transmission
once every 3 months. If fluid shows on dipstick, level
is satisfactory. If no fluid shows, add an SAE 80 gear
lubricant until fluid shows on dipstick.
D. The table top, clamps, steel Duckhead (mount /
demount tool), and other working surfaces should be
cleaned with a vaporizing solvent every month.
E. The clamps should be inspected and metal chips
and dirt from the serrations with a wire brush every
month.
F. Check the tire pressure gauge function daily, and
check the accuracy monthly. Use a pressurized tire and
a high quality stick-type pressure gauge. If necessary,
adjust the dial of the machine gauge. If the gauge is
defective, replace it immediately (part number 8107985).
Check function of the pressure limiter weekly. Always
reinstall the lens after adjusting the gauge.
G. Make sure all fasteners are securely tightened.
H. Make certain that all guards and covers are in place.
I. Check for worn, damaged or missing parts including
grips and protective covers. Replace them before allow-
ing the unit to be used.
J. On a daily basis, inspect the unit and check to be
certain that all systems are operating normally. Detailed
inspection and testing procedures are specified for vari-
ous components at regular intervals. Set up a chart and
assign responsibility for these items.
