MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
A. Daily greasing is required and remote grease fittings are located in various
spots on the unit. These locations are marked with decals and care should be
taken to insure none of the grease points are missed.
B. Chain tension.
a. 20” mill
i. Under the engine on this unit you will see an idler sprocket for the
main box chain. The only regular maintenance to this assembly
should be greasing and inspection. If you ever change the main
chain or have a bearing failure on this shaft be sure the sprocket is
set so the main chain is not touching the deck.
ii. At the rear of the unit you will find the drive set up which moves
the box. This is also where you tension the main drive chain if
needed.
1. Remove the top section of the orange guard exposing the
drive system.
2. Loosen the jam nut and pusher bolt against the drive motor.
3. Loosen the drive motor pivot bracket putting slack in the
chain between the drive motor and the jackshaft number.
4. On jackshaft, loosen the jam nuts and pusher bolts on the
front side of the bearings. Don’t touch the rear pusher bolts
yet. Loosen the bearing mounting bolt enough so you slide
the jackshaft. Now loosen the rear jam nuts and use the rear
pusher bolts to slide the jackshaft assembly in turn
tensioning the chain from the rear jackshaft to the front
jackshaft. Once this chain is tight lock down the rear jam
nuts, and then lock down the bearing bolts; now bring the
front pusher bolts against the bearings and lock down the
jam nuts.
5. Now, tension the chain from the front jackshaft to the drive
motor by reversing steps 3 & 2.
6. As with the front of the unit the height of the sprocket
assembly carrying the main chain should not be changed
from the original factory setting.
7. Tensioning the main drive chain, which moves the box, is
done at the rear drive assembly. Once you have tensioned
all of the chains in this drive assembly and locked them
down in the fashion indicated in this procedure you are
ready to tension the main drive chain. The rear drive
assembly is mounted on an orange frame, which slides on
the main frame for the unit as indicated. If you loosen the
four bolts which hold the orange mounting frame to the

O:\Manuals\SHAVING MILLS\60 INCH\60 INCH SHAVING MILL, ENGINE DRIVEN MANUAL_10.30.2017.doc- 6 -
units mainframe, this will allow the mounting frame to
slide. Loosen the jam nut on the pusher/puller bolt and turn
the pusher bolt to slide the rear drive assembly to tension
the main drive chain. As long as the chain doesn’t touch the
deck you are fine. Lock down the jam nut on the
pusher/puller bolt, the bolts holding down the rear drive
assembly and replace the guards and you will be ready to
go.
C. Belt tension, there are two belt systems which are typical to the 20”, 30”, 40”
& 60” shaving mills.
a. Cutter head to engine belt system.
i. First remove the guards. This will make it much easier to tension
these belts properly. Start at the cutter shaft and work towards the
engine.
ii. (Note: Use the following procedure for each of the jackshaft
assemblies.) Loosen the jam nuts and pusher bolts on the engine
side; loosen the bearing mounting bolts so the jackshaft assembly
can slide. Now, use the pusher bolts on the cutter shaft side to slide
the jackshaft to tension the belt using the 3/8 rule. Lock down the
cutter shaft side jam nuts and pusher bolts, bearing bolts and
engine side pusher bolts and jam nuts.
iii. Now that you have tensioned all of the belts from the cutter shaft
up towards the engine, tension the last belt that runs from the last
jack shaft to the engine by sliding the engine. Loosen the engine
mounting bolts, the jam nuts and the pull/push bolts on the front of
the engine mounting area to slide the engine and tension the belt.
Be sure to use the 3/8 rule when tensioning this belt.
Note: While these guards are off check the tension of the
blower drive system.
iv. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REPLACE AND SECURE
ALL GUARDS PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS UNIT.
RUNNING THIS UNIT WITH OUT GUARDS IN PLACE
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
b. Blower assembly belt tensioning.
i. First you need to remove the guards. This will make it possible to
tension the belts properly.
ii. On the back of the actual blower loosen the bolts holding it to the
drop out trough. Loosen the pusher bolt on the top right corner of
the blower. This will allow you to relieve the tension on the belt
running from the blower to the jackshaft.
iii. Now to tension the belts from the cutter shaft to the jackshaft use
the same procedure in step C.a.ii.

O:\Manuals\SHAVING MILLS\60 INCH\60 INCH SHAVING MILL, ENGINE DRIVEN MANUAL_10.30.2017.doc- 7 -
iv. Now that the belt is tight from the cutter head to the jackshaft
reverse the procedure on loosening the blower housing to tension
the belt from the jackshaft to the blower.
v. Once the belts are tight, using the 3/8 rule, and all the bolts are
retightened you are ready to replace the guards.
vi. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REPLACE AND SECURE
ALL GUARDS PRIOR TO OPERATION OF THIS UNIT.
RUNNING THIS UNIT WITH OUT GUARDS IN PLACE
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
D. Wood Box Travel Adjustment.
a. By moving plates you can adjust how far the box travels relative to the
cutter head.
NOTE: USE CAUTION WITH THIS ADJUSTMENT. TEST YOUR
ADJUSTMENT WITH THE CUTTERHEAD DISENGAGED TO BE
SURE THE BOX IS NOT TRAVELING OVER THE
CUTTERHEAD. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WILL BE CAUSED IF
THE BOX TRAVELS INTO THE CUTTERHEAD !!!!
E. Crossover Relief Valve
a. The relief valve has two screws for adjustment on the top and bottom of
the valve. Each complete turn of the screw represents 150 psi of hydraulic
pressure. Factory settings are set at 4 turns or 600 psi for both the top and
bottom screw. This setting should not be changed with out contacting a
Salsco service representative.
F. Blade Maintenance
a. The blades on this unit must be inspected weekly and serviced
accordingly.
b. Removing the blades (be sure to count the number of exposed grooves on
the back of the blades)
i. First either run the box over the cutter head (follow the procedure
marked Accessing the Cutter Head) or work inside of the box.
ii. Clean out the allen head screws.
iii. Loosen one set of screws a few turns and tap the keepers for that
blade down. Be sure to use a piece of brass or soft material that
will not damage the keepers. By loosening the screws and tapping
down the keepers you will loosen the blade. Remove and replace
all the blades in this pocket. Be sure to set them to factory specs of
1/8 inch above the deck.
