    Keeping equipment and operators safe

    As part of routine wash plant maintenance, all safety guards and warning decals should be checked.

    General maintenance requirements

    While lubrication schedules vary, check the quantity and type of grease/oil that is required. Also, be aware of the recommend frequency for lubrication. Is replacement of lubricant needed a fixed amount of time after start-up? Is that time frame based on environmental conditions?
