Maintenance of Jaw Crusher

1. Make sure the jaw crusher stay its normal condition, and then begin to feed materials.

2. Materials should be delivered to enter the crushing chamber at an even pace, and keep a certain capacity of loading.

3. Under the normal condition, the bearing temperature should not exceed 35¡æ, and the maximum temperature of materials should not exceed 70¡æ.

4. When it happens to block in the crushing chamber, operators should turn down the machine immediately, materials should be removed and then restart the machine.

Lubrication of Jaw Crusher

1. Regular attention should be paid to lubricating friction surfaces, in order to keep its excellent operation and extend its life.

2. The lubricating oil should be added to 50%-70% of the total bearings every 3 months.
