Maintenance
LUBRICATION:
The horizontal rails of the board holder should be checked daily for debris and dry spots. The rails can be
cleaned and lubricated by wiping with an ISOVG32 oil (such as; Mobil Vactra No. 2 SLC, Mobil DTE Light 32,
Shell Tonna S2 M 32) with a lint-free cloth or sponge. A light coating should be left in the ball races. Avoid
applying excessive amounts, which may pose a fire hazard near the preheater.
The two vertical rails should be lubricated if the heater head is sticking or stuttering. All rail covers will need
to be removed (4 screws and brackets) in order to access the outer races. Apply ISOVG220 grease (Mobil
Vactra No 4) to rails. Depending on the service conditions, the rails should be lubricated as a preventative
measure at least annually.
Vacuum pick bearings should be checked if pick does not fully descend to bottom position. Must remove theta
adjust knob and 4 screws to remove heater head cover, and 4 screws to remove the IR pyrometer sensor
assembly. Carefully clean off dust or debris from exposed parts of the vacuum tube with an anti-dust aerosol
or lint-free cloth. Apply a thin coat of NLGI Grade 2 lubricant (suggested Dupont Krytox GPL 205) to the
circumference of vacuum tube near each bearing. Next, manually move the vacuum pick up/down to allow
grease to contact the balls; rotate the theta adjust knob and repeat the up/down movement. Depending on
the service conditions, the bearings should be lubricated as a preventative measure at least annually.
