Maintenance
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTE-
NANCE ON MACHINE!
To keep your machine operating smoothly, it is essential
that all bearings and distributor tube bushings be lubri-
cated. Oiling moving parts is particularly important where
machine comes in contact with sand, grit and other abra-
sive material.
CABLE MAINTENENCE
To get maximum service from your
cables, be sure that they are clean
and well oiled. This not only provides
running lubrication but greatly extends
the life of the cables as well. Some
users periodically pour oil directly into
the drum. Then, as the drum turns,
the cables get complete lubrication.
Our SNAKE OIL is ideally suited for
this purpose, since it not only lubri-
cates the cables, it deodorizes them
as well.
FEED MAINTENANCE
Keep feed free of excessive soil and grit. It is recom-
mended that the feed be flushed with fresh water fol-
lowed by a light oiling of the moving parts. No disassem-
bly is normally required. Failure to feed can usually be
traced to the following possibilities:
DIRT ACCUMULATION
Over time, dirt can harden enough to stop roller rotation.
Flushing with water followed by liberal oiling can usually
restore function. If disassembly is required, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the feed tension knob, springs and spring
plunger. Note the positioning of these parts to ease
re-assembly. The top roller can now be removed.
2. Remove the snap rings and thrust washers from the
bottom housing cylinders.
now be removed.
3. Re-assembly is done in reverse order.
DAMAGED ROLLER
Excessive use may wear a roller to the point of failure. It
is recommended that all three rollers be replaced at the
same time (Cat # PO-MR-703).
TANGLED CABLE
If a cable loops over itself in the drum, it will not feed
properly. Remove and reload the cable to restore func-
tion. If the cable kinks, it is evidence of abuse and results
from the use of too much pressure or use of the wrong
size cable for the line. Do not force the cable — let the
cutter do the work.
