During Shearing; Lubrication - Heiniger XTRA Originalbetriebsanleitung

WARNING!
If the shearing pressure adjustment knob is released too
much, the upper blade can fly off and result in injuries.
Tighten the shearing pressure adjustment knob only slowly until
the noise level becomes dull and you feel resistance when tight-
ening the shearing pressure adjustment knob. Turn the shearing
pressure adjustment knob back 1/4 turn. The pressure should be
well adjusted.
After each new setting, check the cutting power on the animal
and only then continue turning.

3.2.2 During shearing

NOTE!
The patented shearing system works with much less contact
pressure than conventional sheep shearing machines. Thus, care
must be taken that the shearing tension is not set too high. Adjust
the shearing tension very slightly from time to time during shear-
ing (max. 1/4 turn).
If shearing is started with the shearing pressure adjustment knob
insufficiently tightened, hair may accumulate between the shear-
ing blades. This negatively affects the further course of the shear-
ing or even makes it impossible. If this is the case, the shearing
blades must be dismantled, cleaned, oiled and refitted as de-
scribed in 4.2.
3.3

Lubrication

Before and during shearing
For a good shearing result and to increase the service life of the machine
and shearing blades, a thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades (Fig. 4,
item, 1+3) is essential. All other moving parts in the shearing head must also
be well oiled. Drip oil onto the shearing blades and into the lubrication hole
provided on the shearing head (Fig. 4, item 2).
Only use our special oil or a paraffin oil conforming to the ISO VG 15 specifi-
cation. This oil is toxin class free and does not cause any irritation on skin or
mucous membranes. This paraffin oil degrades to about 20% after 21 days
(CEC-L-33-T-82).
