Maintenance Fig C.
The MT Series Feeders are reasonably maintenance free. Listed below are
suggested maintenance schedules:
1. The Front Bushing supports the discharge end of the metering screw and
is retained by a bolt at the extreme end of the discharge tube. This
bushing is sealed to the Tube with an O-Ring, the bushing has a blind
hole so that zero leakage from the discharge bushing can be expected.
The bushing will wear over time and should be replaced as required.
