Tips To Maintain Fecon Mulcher Parts

For your Fecon mulching machine to operate optimally, then you need to consider the condition of the wear parts. But some operator rarely takes this into caution and in most cases; newly bought machines are the most neglected.  What operators fail to understand is that the quality or condition of the wear parts is crucial to the performance and the lifespan of the machine. But there are numerous ways that you can go about it, but you need to have the right tips to ensure that you are doing it right. Here are the tips that can help you get the best out of you:

Keep the Clean

Keeping wear parts clean is a rule of thumb. If you want to keep the Fecon parts in good shape and for longer; then, you need to have then cleaned regularly. This is especially important to the mulcher teeth which are exposed to dirty conditions including debris and dust particles. The parts should be checked properly before and after use. Some of the things like sticking branches and debris during operation are likely to consume extra horsepower thus lowering the efficiency and the performance of the machine.

Generous Greasing

Most of the active Fecon parts are in constant motions, and thus a lot of wear is generated out of the friction. Therefore greasing or lubrication is a key element in the maintenance of mulching machines. Some of the key parts that you need to consider carefully are the rotating parts such as the head attachment, bearing and the rotor amongst others. Failure to greasing results in wear and tear due to friction and that will have a negative impact on the cost of maintenance. Ensure that you have greased the bearing every 8 hours of work if the machine is working continuously. Apart from the rotor, the belt tensioners should also be lubricated and any other movable parts.

Proper Operation

Avoid exposing your Fecon mulcher to conditions that are beyond its ability. It is important to check features such as horsepower to ensure that the machine can handle the job. Note that how the Fecon forestry mulcher is used will definitely affect the lifespan and the cost of the maintenance. Choose the ground conditions carefully and also ensure that you have scanned it carefully. For example, avoid working in grounds littered with debris such as bottles, wire, metal objects and huge rocks.
