SERVICE
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit
engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground
cable (negative -).
Never place any part of the body underneath
implement/attachment or between its moving parts
even when the engine has been turned off. Service
work does not require going underneath unit.
Mechanical failures, electrical failures, or operating
controls can cause equipment to drop.
LUBRICATION
To prevent excessive wear, do not let excess grease
collect on or around parts. Figure 1 shows the lubrica-
tion points. The accompanying chart gives the fre-
quency of lubrication in operating hours based on
normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual condi-
tions may require more frequent lubrication.
In addition to these lubrication points, lightly oil all roller
chains periodically.
Check the oil level in gearboxes periodically. Maintain
oil level to the bottom of fill plug hole. Use SAE 90W oil.
CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Check periodically for proper chain tension between
gearboxes. If chain tightening is required, loosen the
four mounting bolts on the right gearbox and slide the
gearbox to the right until proper chain tension is
achieved. Do not overtighten chain.
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
NOTE: When performing any maintenance or making
adjustments to the Sweeper broom, refer to the
Sweepster) operator's manual.
