Maintenance and care of the bearings/linear unit
CAUTION
Malfunction or risk of damage
The bearing units are self-lubricating dry bearings and must nev-
er be lubricated with any lubricant.
Brake cleaners, lubricants or other cleaners can corrode and de-
stroy the bearing foil. Check the bearing foil for wear and damage
and replace if necessary.
1 The existing lubrication points (grease nipples) are labelled.
Lubricate daily with multi-purpose grease.
2 Clean the entire linear unit with water or brine. Cleaning with a
high pressure cleaner is not a problem.
Maintenance and care of the chain
ATTENTION
Notes on lubricating the chain
When lubricating the chain, make sure that no lubricant gets onto
the rails of the linear unit. Should this happen due to careless-
ness, they must be cleaned and free of grease before initial start-
up.
Never use stains or acids to clean the chain.
1 Inspect the chain at least once a month. During the inspection,
clean the chain, tension the chain drive and lubricate it.
2 The chains can be cleaned with rags or brushes. Stubborn dirt
can be loosened with petroleum or benzine. Apply new, suita-
ble corrosion protection immediately after using grease-dis-
solving media.
3 The chain drive may only be tensioned by Kärcher Service.
4 Regular lubrication extends the service life. Lubricate the
chain with relubricant VP8 FoodPlus Spay from IWIS.
Note that the lubricant must get into the chain joint. This
means that it has to get between the protective roller and the
bushing, and also between the inner and outer plates to the
pins and bushing
5 If you notice a lack of lubrication in the form of increased noise,
stiff joints or fretting corrosion in the joints, we recommend the
following procedure.
Clean the chain with a very low viscosity oil. This flushes fret-
ting corrosion, old lubricant and other dirt from the joint. When
the chain has been cleaned, lubricate it with a suitable lubri-
cant as described above.
