MAINTENANCE
Daily cleaning: The motor in use should always be kept clean. No water, or debris
should be allowed to get into the interior of the motor.
Check on load current: While the motor is in operation, constant care should be taken
to keep the load current below the maximum recommended motor current rating.
Operational sounds: During operation of the motor there must be no rubbing sounds,
shrieks or other random noises. Stop the motor immediately and restart after
inspection and corrections have been made.
Check folding handle latch periodically. This is adjustable. To adjust, loosen the lock
nut on the latch and then screw in until a satisfactory tension has been
achieved.
The wheel bearings use sealed bearings and require no regular greasing.
*NB To minimize vibration and uneven blade wear, rotate plate every 2 hours.
Failure to do so can lead to premature wear of the exible coupling.*
**Ensure all re-tipped and new grinding plates are properly balanced.**
