5.3. Gears
The gap between the brushes and the gears and the seals in each case must be checked weekly for soiling (hair!) and
cleaned where necessary. If cleaning is not carried out promptly, hair can be pulled / pressed into the seals, causing loss
of oil, bearing damage and possibly even damage to the gears.
The oil level must also be checked on a weekly basis. The gears have already been filled at the factory with Shell Tivela
S320 gear oil. Top up any lost oil using only this type of oil.
5.4. Screw connections
Check all screw connections weekly to ensure they are tight, especially the securing of the machine to the wall. Tighten
any screw connections where necessary.
5.5. Moving parts
Lubricate the bearings and bushings at the locations marked (fig. 7). These parts must be inspected regularly and
changed if they are wearing too much.
When changing transmission parts, always use a hoist (front loader, pulley) to guard against falling or sagging!! Risk of
injury!!

5.6. Brushes
The brushes must be changed once they have worn down and are demonstrating only inadequate cleaning performance
on the animals.
Changing the brushes
1. Unfasten the screw on the brush and remove the clamping plate
2. Pull off the brush and replace with the new brush
3. Assemble the parts in reverse order. Secure screw with threadlocker.
Brush cleaning
The brush element should be cleaned every 6 weeks with a suitable disinfectant. (For example INTERKOKASK Spray
#299698 from Albert KERBL GmbH)
5.7. Entire machine
The entire machine must be cleaned on a regular basis.
The gears, motor and electrical components must not be cleaned with high-pressure cleaners.
Only clean the control box with a damp sponge / cloth!
