MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
WARNING: Maintenance must be done by authorized
personnel only.

fewer repairs.

The Polisher is completely lubricated. The bearings and gears
in the gear unit have enough lubricant for two or three years of
normal operation. All other bearings are sealed and have enough
lubricant for the life of the machine.

Motor And Gears

Remove or blow dust and dirt from the motor frequently.

Repairs

If repairs to the gear unit or motor are needed, do not disassemble
the gears and motor! Return the machine to the nearest Clarke
Service Branch or Clarke Authorized Service Center.

Maintenance Inspection

Return the machine to a Clarke Authorized Service location every
12 months for maintenance inspections.

Lever To Lock The Handle

The locking mechanism for the handle can become loose. Tighten
the nut on the end of the cross link bolt. The pressure of the lock-
ing lever is correct when the handle can be adjusted easily and
fastened as needed.

Maintenance Of Brushes

Always remove the brush from the machine when not in use. Keep
brushes in a cool, dry location. Heat can damage the wood and the
bristles. Scrub brushes with bassine fi bers must be put in water for
16 hours to replace moisture and give the bristles a longer life.
