LUBRICATION
Lubrication
of
this
machine
is
easily
accomplished. Every eight hours of operation
add three to five drops of a good grade of 30
weight lubricating oil to Lubricator
(#1
below).
Do
not
over
lubricate.
NEVER
OIL
GRAPHITE CROSSHEAD GUIDES. (Heavy
duty steel guides require lubrication.) If oil
should get on Graphite Guides, they will
become gummy and stall the cutter. Should
this happen, clean the guides thoroughly by
flushing with Keep-M-Kleen solution. Guides
or Crosshead do not have to
be
removed from
machine
during
cleaning.
Add
oil
to
Crosshead wick after cleaning.
A few drops of oil should be placed on
moving parts and gears periodically, or after
they have been cleaned
in
solution. Excess oil
on grinder parts collects emery and will cause
faster wear and poor grinding. DO NOT OIL
THE ROLLERS
IN
THE FOOTPLATE.
The center wick (#3 at left) should be soft
and come into contact with the Crosshead
Wick, when the Crosshead
is
at the top of the
stroke. Replace the wicks if they are worn
or
broken.
To
replace wick, remove the retaining
screw (#5 at left) while holding the lubricator
steady with your hand. The feeder tube may
now be pulled out.
To
take off entire oiler
assembly, use
an
open end wrench to remove
the oiler tube nut (#6 at left). This is a right
hand thread.
All ball bearings
in
this machine are
sealed, pre-lubricated bearings. If the crank
bearing needs to be greased
or
replaced,
remove Connecting Rod (see page
6,
Fig. A)
then remove the Bearing Locknut (#4 at left)
with
Pin
Wrench (#1091060).The bearing can
now be pulled from the Crank with the Crank
Pin
Puller (not illustrated). Use a good grade
of high speed bearing grease available from
the factory. Bearings should be replaced only
with the bearing knockers sold from Wolf. For
accessories, lubricants and tools, see
page 37.
