Service and maintenance:

Bearings 

All bearings are lubricated for life from the factory, 

and requires no maintenance. 

Gear for screen drum 

The gear is supplied from 

the factory with synthetic 

oil, ISO VG 680. Check 

the oil level in the gear on 

a regular basis. Change 

oil every 20.000 running 

hours, or latest after 4 

years (at synthetic oil). At 

mineral oil, the intervals will be halved.

Oil type 

See separate manual for the gear drive.

Never mix synthetic oil and mineral oil. If you want 

to change oil type, it is necessary to clean the gear 

very carefully.

Greasing of intermediate bearing on trough 

auger

The intermediate bearing on the trough auger is 

positioned in the bottom trough in the middle of the 

cleaner. 

The bearing construction is a steel shaft running in 

a nylon bushing with facility for greasing.

Greasing of the bearing is extending lifetime of the 

nylon bushing. It is beneficial to grease the bearing 

each 40 hours of running. Preferable grease type 

is: Mobiltemp SHC 460 Special, or similar grease 

with content of graphite or/and MoS

Belt tensioning

Check at regular intervals that the belt is taut, espe-

cially while it is new. The first belt tensioning should 

normally take place after 2 - 3 hours of operation.

Re tightening

In a new machine, all screws and bolts should be re 

tightened after the first day of operation. Make sure 

that they are always securely tightened.

Cleaning

Clean the machine if it is to stand idle for a consid-

erable period of time. Keep gear and motors free 

from dirt, which may reduce the cooling.

Storage

If the cleaner is used for outdoor installation, and 

will be out of use for a longer period, it is recom-

mended to open the outlets from the auger to avoid 

water being collected in the bottom of the machine.
