Inspecting the Machine
During Periodic Daily
Shutdowns
Clean the undercarriages frequently to prevent soil and
debris from packing the undercarriage components, as
this increases the load on track components and contrib-
utes to a shorter track life.
One or more times each day, check the wear and condi-
tion of the bits and related wear parts, such as gauging
bars, anvil, and grates. Also check the feed chain, floor
plates, and related parts. These checks are described in
this section.
For detailed wear indicators for the grinder assembly
wear parts, refer to Section 5000 “Processor System” in
the
Maintenance Manual
.
To prepare the feed and grinder assemblies
for inspection:
1.
Restart the engine if you have already shut down.
Set the engine speed to low idle.
2.
Raise the compression roll to its maximum height.

WARNING
Crushing hazard.
Never remove the locking stop or pin from the
inside or while a person is in the hopper or near
the point of operation.
3.
Set the safety locking stops for the compression roll
housing. See “Compression Roll Safety Locking
Stops” on page 38.
4.
Shut down the engine.
5.
Lock out the battery disconnect switch.
To inspect the feed and grinder assemblies:
1.
Remove any compacted material from the material
processing area.
2.
Check the following items carefully:
Feed chain link pins
(Figure 76). Inspect the link
pin heads for wear against compacted material on
the inside walls of the hopper. Also, make sure the
feed chains are aligned on the tail pulley flanges.
Figure 76:
Feed Chain Link Pins at Feed Tail Pulley
Feed chain tension
. Feed chains stretch as they
wear. Using a flashlight, stand in front of the tail
pulley and look under the hopper floor. The feed
chain should be off the floor plate for about 3 ft
(1 m) behind the tail pulley.
Hopper floor
. Check the adjustable gap at the tail
pulley:
•
Ensure the gap between the hopper floor and
tail pulley is less than 3/4 inch (19 mm), as
shown in Figure 77.
•
Check the bolt tension for securing the floor.
