ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
General
Production losses can be reduced if good maintenance
practices are followed. The following suggestions may
be helpful:
1. Recognize the fact that the user of hydraulic equip-
ment has more control over maintenance than the
manufacturer.
2. Operators should be familiar with use, care, and
limitations of the equipment. ALL OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY.
3. Use properly trained maintenance personnel.
4. Establish a program of systematic preventative
care for your equipment or put this machine on an
existing preventative maintenance program.
5. Analyze and isolate trouble before having any part
of the equipment dismantled.
6. Be aware of how your machine should sound and
perform. If the machine is not operating properly
or if it doesn’t “sound right”, stop running your job
immediately and try to identify the problem.
7. Call the dealer for any problems that cannot be
handled by your own personnel.
Vertical Table Guide
The vertical table guide is located on the right side of
the machine beneath the table and may need periodic
adjustment to keep the table steady yet allow it and
stock to fall away from the drills as rapidly as possible.
The table down stroke is controlled by a return spring.
Remove the guide block cover guard. Tighten the two
guide block lock nuts (fig. 11) and power the table up
by pressing the foot treadle. Gradually back the lock-
nuts off evenly until the table releases freely. Retest
the upstroke and table return, and check the table for
side play. Replace the guard.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
Daily
1. Keep drills sharp!
2. Lubricate the hollow drill frequently with the lubri-
cating stick provided.
3. For better hollow drill life, remove the drills when
not in use and soak in light oil. Wipe off excess oil
before drilling.
4. Wipe off excess grease from the drill heads and
idlers.
Weekly (or every 40 hours of operation)
1. Check belt wear/tension.
2. Oil the table lift rod between the table and stand
with light oil (fig. 10).
CAUTION: PINCH POINT. This adjust-
ment requires a guard to be removed
for adjustment and testing purposes
only. Be very careful while adjusting. Replace
all guards before operating. Do not operate
machine with any guards removed.
