INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE

Before each use, inspect the listed components. Compare your observations to the Record of normal condition

on p. 3. Numbers in parentheses correspond to item numbers in the Exploded view on p. 4. DO NOT use the pail

closer unless it is in normal condition. Correct all issues discovered during an inspection before returning the unit to

service.

1. Piston plunger (5), lever weldment (3), handle, and press head weldment (1): check each of these elements for

cracks, warps, bends, and indications of metal fatigue. Replace any component that does not operate normally

and cannot be restored to normal operating condition. Move the handle while watching and listening for unusual

sound and movement.

2. Floor frame weldment (4): check the structure for bends, warps and cracks. If the unit is anchored to the

floor/ground, confirm that the anchor points are solid, i.e. that the unit does not wobble. Make sure that the

flooring (concrete, etc.) around the anchor bolts is sound.

3. Platen (17) and pail support (6): inspect both components for damage.

4. Arm flange plates (19) and hardware: make sure that the plates, press head weldment (1) and pail support (6)

are firmly and securely fastened together.

5. Product labels: all labels should be readable and located as shown in the “Labeling diagram” below. Replace

any label that is unreadable or missing.

NOTE: Label appearance and content is subject to change over time. Consequently, replacement

labels might differ from labels shown in the manual supplied with the unit.

A: Label 203

B: Label 255
