SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme-
diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Dull or damaged saw blade.
•
Wood chip and sawdust buildup.
•
Low fuel and lubrication levels.
•
Damaged or worn guides rollers.
Monthly Check
•
V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0901 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Cleaning &
Protecting
Most bearings on this machine, except for those
with grease fittings, are sealed and permanently
lubricated. Leave these bearings alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Apply light machine oil to the lift chain every 40
hours of use, prior to storage, or as needed. Clean
machine thoroughly before applying oil. The goal
is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubri-
cation will attract dirt and sawdust.
Lubrication
Wipe clean and lubricate all grease fittings with two
pumps of high-temp bearing grease (see
Figure
53 on Page 33). Grease fittings should be lubri-
cated after approximately 160 hours of use.
