Monthly Maintenance
Apply light machine oil to the rear wheel support to rear wheel handle interface. Two drops of
oil is sufficient.
Check the v-belt tension. If you can hear the belt "slap" the belt guard when the drive motor
starts, the v-belt requires tensioning. Do this by loosening the four bolts that secure the
motor to the machine base and slide the motor toward the rear of the machine. Tighten the
four bolts.
Storing Machine for Extended Period of Time
If this belt grinder is to be inactive for a long period of time, prepare the machine as follows:
Detach the plugs from the electrical supply panel.
Clean and lubricate the machine.
Remove the belt
Cover the machine
There are no other maintenance actions required. All bearings are sealed for life and require no
additional lubrication.
Idler Wheel Alignment
When idler wheels are removed and/or replaced they must be installed such that they are in
proper alignment. Failure to properly align the idler wheels will result in premature failure of the
wheels.
Premature failure will be evidenced by:
Outer diameters being excessively worn such that the wheels lose their factory crown,
Wear to a truncated form, or
Become out of balance.
The upper and rear idler wheels must operate in the same plane. This means that when they
are correctly aligned a plane passing through the radial center of the upper wheel will exactly
pass through the radial center of the rear wheel.
Never perform maintenance or adjustments without first disconnecting the machine from its
power source. Failure to observe this warning may lead to serious personal injury.
