maintenance/tune up Shark Pro Hd
Is there any info out there on Shark maintenance and or "tuning up"?
Re: maintenance/tune up Shark Pro Hd
From page 133 of the Shark HD manual. You can get a .pdf file if you google Shark HD Maintenance.
Maintenance
Routine
Besides keeping the machine generally clean – it’s a good idea to remove all dust and debris after a job – the primary maintenance task is to lubricate the lead screws (spiral rods) and support rods. While any lubricant will work, a silicon or lithium based spray that doesn’t leave a greasy or waxy residue – DuPont Teflon Silicon Lubricant is an example - is recommended. This can be found at any hardware or ‘big box’ store. Apply the lubricant, jog the gantry the length of the axis and back again. Holding a cloth or rag against the lead screw, repeat the jogging motion. This removes any excess lubricant and cuts down on the opportunity for dust and debris to build up by clinging to the lubricant. Repeat these steps with the guide rails.
I supposes other maintenance would be to check the nuts and bolts periodically. Hope this helps.
