LONG TERM SERVICE

This service is also offered at a fixed price. The time required is usually two to three weeks and includes:

  • Replacing all seals
  • Removing the micrometer screw (two fir Model D), cleaning, inspecting and relubricating
  • Removing the gear box, cleaning, replacing all bearings and relubricating

Long term serviceing should be performed every EIGHT TO TEN YEARS. Seals will start failing after that time interval due to hardening. The lubrication on the micrometer screw ages and should be cleaned and replaced, regardless of the amount of use.
