MAINTENANCE
Disconnect electrical power supply(ies) and follow lockout / tagout procedures
before performing any maintenance procedure.
LINE STRAINERS
Line strainers used in water or steam lines should be cleaned one week after machine installation and
periodically thereafter.
LUBRICATION
A list of acceptable lubricants, as well as the lubricants themselves, are available from your local Hobart
Service Office.
Motors
All motors have sealed bearings and require no lubrication maintenance.
Conveyor Gearmotor
Check the oil level in the conveyor gearmotor at the unload end of the machine every six months by
removing the gear case fill-plug (Fig. 36). The oil level should be at the bottom of the fill-plug hole.
Draining the gear case can be achieved by removing the Drain Plug (Fig. 36) and capturing and
recycling the drained oil. After rescrewing the Drain Plug back in the hole, use only Mobilgear # 630
to replenish or replace the oil.
