Lubrication. The motor and bearings are lubricated for life. * Speed reducer – Follow the manufacturer’s guideline contained within this customer pack, some reducers do not require oil changes. Otherwise, the oil should be replaced after the initial 1,000 hours of operation. Subsequent oil changes are required every 5,000 hours. Never mix compound and synthetic oils in the reducer. * Roller Chain - lubricate bi-weekly with an SAE #30 weight oil. Note: New chains will loosen up slightly as the joints seat themselves causing initial elongation which is many times greater than the elongation during the balance of chain life. A tensioner is located on the upper tier chains to keep the chain taut as it may slacken. To adjust the tension on these chains, loosen the set screw on the tensioner arm, rotate the assembly further into the chain, and re-tighten the set screw. To adjust the tension of the chain from the reducer to the first tier, loosen the four jam nuts on the underside of the machine, evenly tighten the four cap screws located at the corners of the drive mounting plate, then re-tighten the jam nuts on the bottom of the machine.
