Hey Guys,
I have read that, on some of these import machines, an inspection of the head reveals a lot of debris and stray metal swarf necessitating a complete disassembly of the head and cleaning prior to use so as to spare the new bearings. Not to say that this is always the case, I was just wondering: would there be any merit to, immediately upon set-up, draining the head then fill it up with some solvent like kerosene to clean out any major debris and then refilling with a suitable gear oil before turning on the unit?
Thanks,
Nelson
