Safety Sign Maintenance

Replace any missing or damaged safety signs. Keep operator safety in mind at all
times. Use mild soap and water to clean safety signs. Do not use solvent-based
cleaners because they may damage the safety sign material.
0.1.2 Personal Safety

Powerscreen equipment is designed with the safety of all personnel in mind.
Never attempt to change, modify, eliminate or bypass any of the safety devices installed
at the factory. Guards, covers and shields installed around moving parts at the factory
are meant to prevent accidental injury to operators and other personnel. Do not remove
them.
Make sure that everyone working on or near this equipment is familiar with safety
precautions.
Powerscreen Int. Dis. Ltd recommends the following basic safety practices:
• Read all danger, warning, caution and notice signs.
• Always lock out and tag out involved energy sources before performing maintenance
or adjustments on this equipment. Make it impossible for anyone to start this machine
while others work on it or in it.
• Never remove any guard, cover or shield when this equipment is in motion.
• Replace guards, covers and shields when the task for which you removed them is
finished.
• Block parts as necessary to prevent their sudden movement while people are working
on the machine.
• Wear proper personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hard hat and
safety shoes, whenever you’re near this machine while it is running.
• Dress appropriately in every way. Never wear loose clothes, long hair, coat tails,
jewelry, pockets full of tools or any other item that could get caught in moving parts.
• Know where your fellow workers are. Always look around and inside this machine
before starting it. Make sure nobody is in the way of moving parts or working on the
machine.
• Report any defective machinery or equipment and unsafe conditions or activity to your
boss immediately.
• Don’t limit safety practices to the few rules listed here. Think safety and act safely at all
times.
• Most of all, know your equipment. Understand the machinery, the conditions under
which it operates and what it is capable of doing.

CHIEFTAIN 1700
Safety Issue 03 EG
Page 4
0.1.3 Equipment & Tools

• Keep the work area as neat and clean as practical.
• Keep all product safety signs clean, clear and current. Replace any damaged or
missing safety signs.
• Make sure all electrical equipment is properly grounded. Wet spots near electrical
current are especially dangerous.
• Store hazardous materials in restricted access areas and mark them clearly. Federal
regulations require special labeling of certain materials.
• Never start an engine in an enclosed space without properly venting the exhaust.
• Do not smoke or allow smoking near fuels and solvents. Never strike a spark or use
an open flame near fuels and solvents.
• Store flammable fuels, solvents and gases in secure, well ventilated areas. Never
allow fumes to accumulate in the storage area. Use nonflammable solvents for
cleaning parts and equipment whenever possible.
• Know where fire extinguishers and other fire suppression equipment are located.
Learn how to use them effectively.
• Be alert and wary around any pressurized system, hydraulic or pneumatic. High
pressure oils and gases are very dangerous.
0.1.4 Equipment & Tools

• Clean tools that are properly labeled and stored are safer tools. Keep your tools in
good order.
• Keep drive belts and sheaves in good condition. Frayed belts or cracked sheaves
are not only dangerous, they cost you downtime.
• Always use mechanical assistance to lift heavy loads. Never overload a hoist, crane,
jack or other lifting device. Check lifting tackle regularly; replace it at the first sign of
stretch, fraying or other wear.
• Keep your equipment clean, free of dirt and grease, so that loose, cracked or broken
parts are more easily spotted. Replace defective parts as soon as they are
discovered.
0.1.5 Lockout & Tagout

Code of Federal Regulations number 1910.147 requires that employers establish and
follow a Lockout & Tagout procedure and train their employees in that procedure before
any employee can operate, service or maintain any piece of power equipment. Employers
are required to make periodic inspections to see that their Lockout & Tagout procedures
are being followed, and they must monitor and update their program on an ongoing basis.
Employees are responsible for seeing that equipment is locked out and tagged out in
accordance with the employer’s policy.

The screen unit consists of a 2 / 2

flange mounted bearings (1)
and a sealed pipe unit. Within
the pipe unit and rotating on the
two bearings is an eccentric
screen shaft(2).
On the outer end of the screen

shaft is fitted a flywheel
complete with weights(3) and
pulley(4). The screen shaft is
driven from the motor fitted (5)
on the subframe by three pulley 7
belts (6).
The subframe in turn is rigidly

connected to the chassis of the
machine.
Screen springs (7) are used to

support the box totally on this
system.

vibration.) 5

The natural motion of the
screenbox would be to cause
an undesirable “out of-balance”

These flywheels (6) are normally

fitted with additional balance
weights (flywheel weights), to
adjust their overall weight to
compensate for varying weights
of screenbox as a result of diffe-
rent sizes of meshes being
fitted.
Hence the two-bearing screen

unit can easily be adjusted
(tuned) to achieve perfect overall
balance and transmit no
vibration into the subframe or
chassis.

Tuning the screen unit

NOTICE
ScreenCE
units on all Powerscreen
machines are tuned before leaving
the factory.
Re-tune the screen unit only when

altering it‘s weight or when
vibrations are noticed in the
structure.
Always adjust equally on both sides

of the screen shaft.
The screen unit is tuned by

altering the flywheel counter
weights on both sides of the
screen shaft.
Two ways of altering the flywheel

counter weights:
1. Adding flywheel counter

weights.
2. Removing flywheel counter
weights.
Add flywheel counter weights

when increasing the screen
unit`s weight. The screen unit‘s
weight is increased by adding a
mesh deck or decreasing the
mesh opening.
Remove flywheel counter

weights when decreasing the
screen unit`s weight. The screen
unit‘s weight is decreased by
removing a mesh deck or
increasing the mesh opening.

10.5 TRACKS TROUBLESHOOTING
(i) One Track not operating or operating slower than the other
- Check that the same size of Motors have been fitted to both Tracks.
- Check if the brake is releasing.
Fit a pressure clock to the Brake Hose. A pressure of at least 285 PSI / 20 bar is
required to release the brakes.
If the correct pressure is not going to the Brake hose it is likely to be a problem with the
Motion Control Block possibly contamination. If a Load Control Valve should jam due to
oil-entrained debris then the likelihood is that it will not open and will not allow the motor
to turn in one direction.
This will cause the Host Machine to ‘crab’ in one direction. Swapping the valves over
from one Track to the other will usually transfer the problem to the opposite direction.
Similarly, if the Brake Pressure Regulator Valve is jammed due to debris the motor will
stop turning on one side. Swap the Pressure Regulator from the opposite block to see if
the problem is in the Brake Valve.
Try removing the Valves and cleaning them thoroughly taking care not to damage the
external cavity seals.
Also check the ports in the Block for dirt etc. If this does not work replace the valves with
new ones. Always cross-reference the part numbers on the new valves with the old valve,
before fitting. It is critical that the correct Valves are fitted. Valves should never be
dismantled as no internal seals or parts are available.
If the valves continue to jam then the oil in the hydraulic system is not being filtered to the
required level of cleanliness.
- If the correct pressure is going to the Brake Hose then the Motor, Brake or Brake
Piston Seals may be damaged.
- To check for a Motor fault swap over the Motors on the two Tracks. If the fault is in the
Motor, replace with a new Motor.
- To check for a faulty Brake remove the Motor and look into the Gearbox for heat
discolouration and/or fragments of Brake disc. If the fault is in the Brakes the complete
Gearbox will have to be replaced.
-To check for faulty Brake Piston seals remove the Motor. If there is Hydraulic oil in the
Gearbox entrance then the seals are damaged. While it may be possible to replace
these seals on-site we strongly recommended that a replacement Gearbox is fitted and
an overhaul of the damaged Gearbox be carried out off-site.

10.5 TRACKS TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)
(ii). Excessive oil leaking around Drive Assembly
- Seals damaged between Motion Control Block and Motor.
Remove Motion Control Block and replace seals.

Note: Seal damage may be caused by excessive oil temperatures. Check oil operating
temperature and environmental conditions.
- Seal damaged between Motor and Gearbox.
Remove Motor and replace seal.

Note: Seal damage may be caused by excessive oil temperatures. Check oil operating
temperature and environmental conditions.
(iii) Track will not stay tensioned
- Grease escaping.
Check that the Track Adjuster Grease Valve is tight, has a properly fitted seal and that
there is no grease leaking past it.
Check around the Tensioning Cylinder for escaping grease. This will indicate that the
seals are damaged in the Tensioning Cylinder. Replace with a new Cylinder
immediately.
(iv) Track Group running off Sprocket and/or Idler
- Track Group too loose. Check Track tension

- Excessive misalignment. Check alignment of Sprocket, Idler and Track Rollers.
- Excessive component wear. Check wear limits,
- Twisted Track Frame. Check Track Frame.
(v) Excessive Component Wear Rate
- Included in this section
