MAINTENANCE
AFTER USE:
Clean the machine to remove all build up of dust and surface residue. If using a hose pipe or
pressure washer, take care that water is not directed onto electrical components and switches.
(Note: Motors and switches are not waterproof)
Ensure the height adjustment thread is cleaned and then lightly oiled. Periodically it should be
removed and the female threaded section cleaned out and oiled regularly to maintain a light,
smooth height adjustment.
The flexible couplings that support the drive plates should be checked on a weekly basis, the
couplings should be firm without excessive movement.
The planetary gear case is sealed and should not require any maintenance, the internal gears
are lubricated with Lithium EPO grease.
All components should be checked daily for tightness.
All plugs, sockets and electrical leads should be checked for condition and damage.
Periodically check the oil level in the drive gearbox. Ensure that the machine is level and
remove the top blanking plug from the gearbox at the front of the machine. If oil comes out of
the hole when the plug is removed then the gearbox contains sufficient oil, if not then top up the
gear box using a SY320 grade gear oil.
