# Jaw Crusher Maintenance Guide
*Ensure longevity and optimal performance with regular maintenance.*
## 1. Daily Checks
– Inspect wear parts: Check jaw dies, cheek plates, and toggle plates for excessive wear or damage.
– Lubrication: Verify grease levels in bearings (pitman & eccentric shaft). Use recommended lubricants.
– Fasteners: Tighten loose bolts/nuts (e.g., jaw plates, toggle seat).
– Oil leaks: Inspect hydraulic systems and pipelines.
– Operational noise: Listen for unusual sounds (e.g., grinding, knocking).
## 2. Weekly/Monthly Maintenance
– Grease bearings: Replenish grease per manufacturer’s intervals (typically every 8 hours of operation).
– Check belt tension: Ensure drive belts are properly tensioned to avoid slippage.
– Clean crusher cavity: Remove buildup of material to prevent blockages.
– Monitor alignment: Verify the jaw dies are aligned correctly to avoid uneven wear.
## 3. Quarterly/Annual Tasks
– Replace wear parts: Swap out jaw dies when worn beyond tolerance (~50% wear is typical).
– Inspect frame/welds: Look for cracks or structural damage.
– Check hydraulic pressure (if applicable): Adjust relief valves as needed.
– Test safety systems: Ensure emergency stops and guards function properly.
## 4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|———————–|——————————|———————————–|
| Excessive vibration | Loose/worn bearings, misalignment | Tighten/replace bearings; realign components |
| Reduced output | Worn/damaged jaw dies | Replace dies |
| Overheating bearings | Low lubrication or contamination | Re-grease/flush bearings |
## 5. Safety Reminders
⚠️ *Always*:
– Lock out/tag out (LOTO) before servicing.
– Wear PPE (gloves, goggles, hard hat).
– Follow OEM manuals (e.g., Metso, Sandvik, Terex).
