Weekly Operations
Clean the distributor screws. Also clean the bearings of all surplus oil.
Clean the surface of the main driving cams thoroughly.
Test the vise-automatic. See that the vise-automatic stops the machine if the first elevator does not descend the full distance.
Oil the machine. Put oil in all oil holes, using it sparingly in the places where there is not much wear. Parts subjected to heat should have plenty of oil. Wipe off all overflow oil with a rag while oiling. A drop or two in oil holes is sufficient for most of the holes. The late model machines will have grease cups instead of oil cups. If there is plenty of grease in the cup, give it a turn. Put a small amount of dry graphite in the various slideways.
Note—While oiling give the machine a good general inspection. Watch for any loose parts or loose screws.
Test assembler measures.
Examine star wheel. Replace if necessary.
Polish magazines.
