Your Eagle Crusher plant relies on several key fluids to keep running. Regularly check and maintain the levels of your engine oil, coolant, and any other essential fluids. Don't forget to test the concentration of your coolant additive using a kit from your local engine dealer.

Check the oil levels in your vibrating feeders and screens regularly, if equipped. Refer to your operator's manual for the recommended drain and refill schedule to keep these critical components well-lubricated.

The impactor is the heart of your crushing operation. Inspect the inside of the impactor daily for worn or damaged blow bars, and replace or rotate them as needed. Also, check for worn, damaged, or missing curtain and side liners, and replace them promptly. Make sure all blow-bar wedges and spindle pins are securely in place.

Your belt drives transmit the power that keeps your plant running. Inspect them regularly for damage or loose tension. Replace any cracked, glazed, torn, or separated belts, and maintain the proper tension for optimal performance. Consult your manual for belt-tension calculation procedures.

A level plant is a happy plant. Check your Eagle Crusher plant regularly to ensure it's properly leveled from side to side, both front and back. Adjust the hydraulic legs as needed, and always insert the pins in the leg tubes so they support the plant, not just the hydraulic cylinder. Running an unlevel plant can cause uneven wear, oil leaks, and other issues.

Your blow bars deliver the crushing power. Flip or replace them as needed, and always clean the mating surfaces of the rotor and blow bar to maintain metal-to-metal contact. This ensures efficient crushing and prevents premature wear.

The feed opening of your crusher is the first point of contact with the material. Maintain the rubber curtain and chain curtain in good condition, as they can be a safety hazard if damaged. Replace missing chain strands and rubber sections promptly.

Keep your tail pulley guards clear of material buildup. Always replace any guards you remove before operating the unit to prevent accidents and injuries.

If your unit has a power take-off mounted to the engine, maintain the proper adjustment. Consult your operator's manual for the correct procedures to ensure your accessories run smoothly.

Inspect all your conveyors daily for torn or punctured belts. Ensure your troughing and return idlers are running smoothly, and replace any malfunctioning ones. Well-maintained conveyors keep your material moving and your plant productive.
