  • Look for any signs of bending or warping.
  • Ensure the frame is stable and secure.
  • Check hoses and connections for signs of leakage.
  • Ensure fluid levels are within recommended range.
  • Inspect hydraulic cylinders for proper operation.
  • Check tensioning rods for signs of wear.
  • Adjust tension according to manufacturer guidelines.
  • Inspect for any misalignment or damage.
  • Measure the gap to ensure proper clearance.
  • Adjust setting if it does not meet specifications.
  • Inspect for any blockages in the discharge area.
  • Observe the machine while it is running.
  • Check for excessive shaking or noise.
  • Identify and resolve any sources of imbalance.
  • Inspect all feed chutes for tightness.
  • Clear any material build-up or blockages.
  • Check for signs of wear or damage.
  • Check for fraying or cracking on the belt.
  • Ensure proper tension according to specifications.
  • Replace if any significant wear is detected.
  • Remove strainer plate and inspect for damage.
  • Clean debris and buildup from the surface.
  • Reinstall securely to prevent material leakage.

4. Lubrication

  • Review manufacturer guidelines for lubrication intervals.
  • Inspect each lubrication point to confirm service has been completed.
  • Document any points that need attention or were missed.
  • Use a dipstick or gauge to assess oil levels.
  • Top off oil if levels are below recommended thresholds.
  • Record oil levels for future reference.
  • Drain existing oil from the system using appropriate methods.
  • Flush the system if contamination is severe.
  • Refill with new oil that meets specifications.
  • Review manufacturer guidelines for lubrication intervals.
  • Inspect each lubrication point to confirm service has been completed.
  • Document any points that need attention or were missed.
  • Use a dipstick or gauge to assess oil levels.
  • Top off oil if levels are below recommended thresholds.
  • Record oil levels for future reference.
  • Drain existing oil from the system using appropriate methods.
  • Flush the system if contamination is severe.
  • Refill with new oil that meets specifications.
  • Examine each fitting for cracks or excessive wear.
  • Replace any damaged fittings to ensure proper grease flow.
  • Lubricate fittings as needed during inspection.
  • Refer to the manufacturer's lubrication chart.
  • Verify lubricant specifications such as viscosity and type.
  • Label containers clearly to prevent mix-ups.
  • Use a lint-free cloth to wipe down surfaces.
  • Dispose of waste materials in accordance with regulations.
  • Inspect for leaks that may require further attention.
  • Create a schedule based on manufacturer guidelines.
  • Set reminders for lubrication tasks.
  • Adjust frequency based on operational conditions if necessary.
  • Inspect all seals and gaskets visually and by touch.
  • Look for signs of oil or grease buildup around joints.
  • Address any leaks promptly to avoid system failure.
  • Use a maintenance log or digital tool for tracking.
  • Note the type of lubricant and quantity used.
  • Review logs regularly to identify patterns or issues.
  • Check for cracks, bulges, or abrasions on hoses.
  • Ensure lines are securely fastened and not pinched.
  • Clear any blockages to maintain proper flow.
  • Run the system and listen for irregular sounds.
  • Monitor vibrations to detect any abnormalities.
  • Perform additional diagnostics if issues are noted.
