Chassis Lubrication
■
Spindle Bearings - Two zerk fittings are located up under
the lower-front of the saw. Lubricate before daily use.
Use a good quality extreme pressure grease. Check and
lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not
overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals.
This can result in bearing exposure to dirt and
contaminants which can then shorten the life of the
bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting
surface.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
General Cleanliness
Clean the machine daily. Remove all dust and slurry build up.
If the saw is steam cleaned, ensure that lubrication is accom-
plished AFTER steam cleaning operations.
Engine check:
Check daily for any oil and/or fuel leakage, thread nut & bolt
tightness, and overall cleanliness.
ALWAYS ensure that both ENGINE ON/
OFF switches (on the handlebar and on
the engine) are in the "OFF" position, and
that the spindle has COMPLETELY
STOPPED ROTATING before performing
any of the the following operations:
CAUTION
Some maintenance operations may require
the engine to be run. Ensure that the mainte-
nance area is well ventilated. Exhaust con-
tains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that
can cause of unconsciousness and may re-
sult in DEATH.
Before servicing or inspection, ALWAYS
park the saw on a level surface with the
blade removed, and the handlebar En-
gine ON/OFF switch & Engine ON/OFF
switch in “OFF” position.
General maintenance practices are crucial to the
performance and longevity of your saw. The extreme
environments of sawing operations require routine
cleaning, lubrication, belt tensioning, and inspection for wear
and damage
