A. Maintenance Procedures for 8397 Monitor Assembly
1. After Each Use:
Clean any dirt from the unit with mild soap and fresh water. DO NOT use any type of solvent,
thinner, or similar product with this unit. No lubricants should be used on the monitor bases.
The aluminum parts are Hardcoated and Teflon impregnated and need no lubrication.
Inspect the spring loaded ground spikes for damage and proper function. The spike assemblies
parts should move in and out freely. Inspect the ground spikes. The carbide tips should come
to a sharp point. Replace the ground spike assembly if the carbide tips are damaged. Replace
the ground spike assembly (P/N 81125001) by removing the ground spike retainer (P/N
57022001) from the leg. Turn the retainer counter-clockwise with the correct size socket or
wrench, and remove the spike assembly and coil spring. Clean the leg socket. Place a small
amount of Loctite #242 on the male thread of the retainer before installation. Install the spring,
new spike assembly, and retainer. Tighten the retainer firmly.
Inspect each of the folding legs for correct operation of the lock pins and smooth operation on
their pivot screws. Check the leg lock pins by sliding them back and forth in their bores using
the yellow-capped pins on both sides of the leg near the pivot point. The lock pins should slide
smoothly in the leg bore and the cone-shaped end should fit snugly into the tapered hole in the
leg bracket. Retract the lock pin and rotate the leg back and forth on the pivot screw. The leg
should rotate freely. If needed, flush the leg assembly with water while cycling the lock pin
and/or leg through its full range of motion until smooth operation is achieved.
Inspect the safety strap and snap hook. Make sure that the spring-loaded closure on the snap
hook pivots freely and returns to the locked position.
It is very important to check that the left/right lock is working property. The lock plug is a wear
item and will need to be replaced periodically (For replacement See Note #3)
2. As Needed:
Grease the worm gear as needed or at least every 6 months with general-purpose petroleum
grease. Rotate the Handwheel to raise the discharge to its highest elevation, apply grease to the
fitting located on the lower front of the unit. Fill it until grease appears at the discharge elbow
joint. Lower the discharge to the safety stop limit and repeat the grease procedure. Pull the
safety stop pin, lower the discharge to its lowest position, and repeat the grease procedure again.
Raise the discharge until the safety stop is reset. Wipe off the excess grease. Clean the monitor
with soap and water only. DO NOT use any type of solvent, thinner, or similar product with
this unit.
