plate will require the rollers to be further extended (convex edge plate) or
recessed (concave edge plate). This is necessary to prevent feeding problems
during bevelling. Regularly check to make sure that the plate is running
against the Guide Rollers as it is being bevelled and that there is only a
minimal gap between the edge of the plate and the face of the Guide Roller
Bracket (directly next to the Guide Rollers), especially when changing setups
between straight edged plates and curved edged plates or disks.

MONTHLY INSPECTIONS
NOTE: The following inspections should be performed with greater frequency if conditions
and usage requires.
Inspect the security of all fasteners.
Inspect the condition of the Slide Base; Guide Roller Bracket; and Chip Deflector, and replace them
if damaged or gouged from wear, or if the cutting chips have worn a pocket that affects smooth chip
flow.
Inspect the condition of the optional undercarriage casters and the spring loaded height adjustment
assemblies and replace worn/damaged parts as necessary. Apply general purpose grease to
lubricate the spring loaded mechanisms as needed.
On each caster wheel shaft on the KBM-28-080 undercarriage there is a ¼” diameter hole where
grease can be applied to lubricate the shaft and steel bushing. This should be done periodically or
as required using a manual grease gun fitted with a “Bare” type coupler.
All cables and conduits should be inspected for breaks, abrasions and security.
PERIODIC INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The following inspection & maintenance should be performed with greater
frequency if conditions and usage requires.
Periodically clean the machine with compressed air.
IMPORTANT: The gearbox oil must be changed after the first 300 hours of operation
(approximately 2 months of single shift usage) and then every 12,500 hours
thereafter.
The Gearbox is typically shipped from the factory with “Shell Tivera S320” - a synthetic, ISO VG 320
oil. When replacing the gearbox oil, refer to the following chart for the best Viscosity
Grade (VG) oil to suit the operating environment of the machine. The gearbox
requires 4 Gallon (US) [15 Litres] of oil.
