Maintenance
Make sure the throttle is completely closed (full stop position) to insure the engine will not accidently
fire (kick back) while performing any maintenance.
• All maintenance should be performed regularly and by qualified personnel only.
• Never work under equipment without first properly securing the equipment to prevent it from moving or falling.
Always work on a flat and level surface.
• Grease disc bearings every 4 hours of use. To access the bearings on the EDG-7 and TG-7, simply remove the
front cap-plug cover (Figure 4) with a flat screwdriver. Both of the bearings are self-aligning, sealed flange
mounted, equipped with grease fittings. To access the fitting on the TMC-7 refer to (Figure 4A) . These bearings
are tapered roller bearings lubricated with High Temp Lubriplate No. 930-AA, or equivalent bearing grease. Do
not over lubricate. Be sure to clean up any excess grease after lubricating the bearings. These bearings can
occassionally require adjustment. If it is evident that these bearing need adjustment they can be accessed by
removing the belt cover.
• Lubricate the wheel bearings from time to time with an occasional drop or two of oil to prevent binding.
• To tension the belt, the Grinders are outfitted with a tensioning pulley (Figure 3). Proper belt tension must be
maintained to transmit the motor power to the grinding disc. Damage to the motor will occur and disk life
shortened if belts are not kept at the proper tension.
• Keep the Grinders clean. Be sure the safety decals are readable and properly maintained on the machine.
