This section includes a list of suggested checks, it is recommended that these checks be car-
ried out on a regular basis, depending on use. Monthly checks are convenient; a few minutes
can be set aside on the same day of each month to complete these simple checks. The next
section of this manual is an empty table, the dates when these checks and all other service
and repair jobs are completed can be entered into the spaces provided in this table. This will
give the user a record of what service has been carried out and when.
1. Check the tool box, ensure all tools and interchangeable parts are present, clean and
ready for use.
2. Clean the outside of the machine, take care not to damage the rollers.
3. Check the top idler roller and ensure it runs freely, and that the speed/distance functions
respond when the wheel is rotated.

bly together. Add a smear of grease/oil * to prevent build up of surface corrosion and to
