Drain Cap
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Oil Sludge Removal from Reservoir
Use plumber's pipe wrench to remove drain cap. Allow free liquid
to drain to a pan. Use a spatula to remove sludge from tank bot-
tom toward drain hole. Use of plumbers tape on the drain pipe
threads will adequately seal the cap to thread contact to prevent
leaks.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
The following should be performed monthly. Items should be
lubricated as directed.
Shaft Bearings
Grease zerk fittings on sealed ball bearing every 20 to 30 hours of use. Rotate shaft periodically while greasing
zerk fittings.
Drive Belts
The belt tension from the motor to blade shaft and worm drive gear are factory preset for immediate operation.
However, the belt tension can be adjusted by adjusting the motor mount plate under the oil reservoir box with
an open end wrench.
Periodically, the belt tension should be checked by opening the belt guard metal cover and ensure at least 1/2
to 3/4 inch of belt defection is observable. Never over tighten the drive belt as premature motor, bearing and
pulley wear may occur. Even though the idler pulley contains sealed ball bearings that do not require lubricant,
a small amount of spray oil lubricant or grease can be used periodically to keep the idler shaft and pulley in
free spinning condition. Do not allow oil or lubricant to come in contact with the v-belts. Always ensure the
spring on the idler pulley arm is attached and not damaged. Some periodic lubrication at the idler shaft/pulley
will be necessary. Use a light oil for this bearing to shaft contact surface. Retighten allen set screws on all pul-
leys if loose.
