Required Maintenance
Prevention of mechanical failure is the goal of any good maintenance schedule. The
secret to preventing unwanted down time is to adhere to a maintenance schedule
suited to the way you use the equipment. Your maintenance schedule should include
the following minimum requirements:
Maintenance must be done ONLY when the machine is shut down and
is in a non-loaded condition. This means that no fluid is being
pumped through the reel and all mechanical and hydraulic tension has
been released from the hose rewind system and stabilizers.

Procedure
Visually inspect equipment
N / A
Walk around the unit and inspect for loose, missing
or damaged items. Check the condition of the
indexer drive button, chains and connecting links.
Replace missing or damaged items and tighten
loosened items.
Maintain the tire pressure at
36-40 psi (248-276 kPa)
N / A
Using a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of
each tire and add or remove air to achieve the
desired pressure.
DO NOT LOWER TIRE PRESSURE
BELOW THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL.
A lower pressure than the
recommended pressure will result in
the tire separating from the rim.
Tighten all wheel bolts

Before moving the unit, verify that the wheel bolts
are tight. When tightening the lug nuts use the star
pattern with your torque wrench set at
110 ft/lbs (150 N.m).
Adjust, if necessary, the
alignment and tension of the
drive chains
Figure 22
The drive chains (around the drum) are properly
tensioned when it has no visible slack and is
seating properly onto the drive pegs when the drum
rotates. Adjustments are made by turning the
locknut (3/4” wrench) on the spring adjustment rod.
Check the oil level in the
indexer gearbox
Figure 21
Remove the oil plug (hex plug) on the side of the
gearbox. The oil should be level with the bottom of
the plug hole.
(refill capacity = 350mL (12 oz.) approximately)
Lubricate the indexer drive
button and slide rails
Figure 20
Liberally apply acceptable grease along the length
of the slide rail and around the drive button.
(See Lubricants)
Lubricate all grease fittings
Figure 23
Using a grease gun, lubricate each grease fitting
with an appropriate amount of acceptable grease.
