CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The icreaseEXCEL is a precision machine. It is very important to keep it free of excessive dust,
dirt and foreign matter. We recommend that you keep the machine covered when not in use.
BEARINGS: The icreaseEXCEL uses 2 different style bearings sealed roller bearing and bronze
bushings. Sealed roller bearings and are designed to be self lubricating, however dirt and dust
can get into them causing clogging and dirt build up. Bronze bushings need to be oiled on a
regular basis. The bronze bushings on this machine are located on the operator side frame and
have the perf shaft and exit shaft through them. There are also 2 bushings located on the feed
drive shaft. To oil these bronze bushings run the machine in feed mode and add a few drops of
oil just inside the shaft collar that hold the shaft in place. Also add a few drops to the inside of
the machine so both sides of the bushing gets oil. It is recommended to occasionally oil the
sealed roller bearings under heavy use.
STRIKE DIE: The groove in the lower die should be cleaned periodically using a toothbrush to
remove any dirt or build up.
SENSOR EYE: Clean the lower reflector tape located on the base plate of the machine. Dust will
cause the beam to not reflect correctly. Clean when necessary.
REMOVEABLE SCREWS: When these show signs of wear or stripping, replace as soon as
possible. If these strip or hollow out they can be costly to remove. If you do keep your
icreaseEXCEL clean and in top condition, it will give you years of service.
