Checking Oil Level.
2. Check often for seal leaks around the shaft.

repair.
Correct new transmission installation is
extremely important because careful alignment
is necessary. Installation by a DoALL service
representative is highly recommended.
WHEEL BRUSH
1. Check the lower bandwheel brush occasionally for
correct position. Adjust the brush so it just touches
the bandwheel tire.
Too much pressure of the brush will score the
bandwheel tire.
2. Replace the brush when necessary.
MACHINE CLEANING
Stop the machine when cleaning the machine
or opening bandwheel doors or covers.
1. Keep the machine and its parts as clean as possible
to prevent excessive wear and damage.
2. Remove the chip pan and dispose of the chips when
necessary.
3. Metal chips and other waste materials may
collect around areas such as: saw guides,
table surface, T-slots, bandwheels, slides, etc.
Remove these materials as soon as possible. The
DoALL Company recommends removing chip
collections at least twice per each eight (8) hour
shift, and more often with heavier use.
BAND DRIVE BELTS
1. Belts driving the variable pulley and input sheave
will stretch during use. This stretch is taken up
automatically by the counter-balancing weight of
the drive motor on its mounting plate.
2. To replace the belts: (a) Lift the drive motor and
block it in place; (b) Slip the old belts from their
pulleys and install the new ones; (c) Remove the
block from the drive motor.
