Park Yukon - Oil dripping from Gantry

[ronald hannah]

On the underside of the Yukon's Gantry there is a drip tray that catches wayoil.

We are seeing an overabundance of oil now dripping from the gantry itself above this drip tray.

Any thoughts?

Oil drips on floor, water is recycled, oil gets on line polisher belt, pieces slip. Don't like oil on floor.

The first thing I would check is if anyone adjusted the oiler timer or the metering units that control the oil flow. We like to see a lot of oil on the ways, but it shouldn't be all over the place.

Have you noticed the reservoir needing more frequent fillings?

I should also mention that the drip tray will need regular cleanings to make sure the oil/mud combination doesn't build up excessively.

If you would like a call from one of our service guys, just PM me a good # to reach you at and I'll get it over to them.

I can at least point you in the right direction, if your machine is like mine. On the back of the saw, near the oil reservoir, there is a blue box with 4(?) large hex nuts. There is a screw in the middle that adjusts the flow, but for the exact amount, you'll have to talk to park, who could have told you all that anyway. But check it out so you know what you're looking at when you do talk to them.
