Lockout/Tagout
What is the OSHA standard for control of hazardous energy sources?
The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147, addresses the practices and procedures necessary
to disable machinery or equipment, thereby preventing the release of hazardous energy while
employees perform servicing and maintenance activities. The standard outlines measures for
controlling hazardous energies—electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal,
and other energy sources.
In addition, 29 CFR 1910.333 sets forth requirements to protect employees working on electric
circuits and equipment. This section requires workers to use safe work practices, including lockout
and tagging procedures. These provisions apply when employees are exposed to electrical
hazards while working on, near, or with conductors or systems that use electric energy.
Why is controlling hazardous energy sources important?

Employees servicing or maintaining machines or equipment may be exposed to serious physical
harm or death if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. Craft workers, machine operators,
and laborers are among the 3 million workers who service equipment and face the greatest risk.
Compliance with the lockout/tagout standard prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000
injuries each year. Workers injured on the job from exposure to hazardous energy lose an average
of 24 workdays for recuperation.
How can you protect workers?

The lockout/tagout standard establishes the employer’s responsibility to protect employees from
hazardous energy sources on machines and equipment during service and maintenance. The
standard gives each employer the flexibility to develop an energy control program suited to the
needs of the particular workplace and the types of machines and equipment being maintained or
serviced. This is generally done by affixing the appropriate lockout or tagout devices to energy-
isolating devices and by de-energizing machines and equipment. The standard outlines the steps
required to do this.
What do employees need to know?

Employees need to be trained to ensure that they know, understand, and follow the applicable
provisions of the hazardous energy control procedures. The training must cover at least three
areas: aspects of the employer’s energy control program; elements of the energy control
procedure relevant to the employee’s duties or assignment; and the various requirements of the
OSHA standards related to lockout/tagout.
What must employers do to protect employees?

The standards establish requirements that employers must follow when employees are exposed
to hazardous energy while servicing and maintaining equipment and machinery. Some of the most
critical requirements from these standards are outlined below:
■ Develop, implement, and enforce an energy control program.
■ Use lockout devices for equipment that can be locked out. Tagout devices may be used in lieu
of lockout devices only if the tagout program provides employee protection equivalent to that
provided through a lockout program.
■ Ensure that new or overhauled equipment is capable of being locked out.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
■ Develop, implement, and enforce an effective tagout program if machines or equipment are not
capable of being locked out.
■ Develop, document, implement, and enforce energy control procedures. [See the note to 29
CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(i) for an exception to the documentation requirements.] Use only lockout/
tagout devices authorized for the particular equipment or machinery and ensure that they are
durable, standardized, and substantial.
■ Ensure that lockout/tagout devices identify the individual users.
■ Establish a policy that permits only the employee who applied a lockout/tagout device to remove
it. [See 29 CFR 1910.147(e)(3) for exception.]
■ Inspect energy control procedures at least annually.
■ Provide effective training as mandated for all employees covered by the standard.
■ Comply with the additional energy control provisions in OSHA standards when machines or
equipment must be tested or repositioned, when outside contractors work at the site, in group
lockout situations, and during shift or personnel changes.
How can you get more information?

OSHA has various publications, standards, technical assistance, and compliance tools to help you,
and offers extensive assistance through its many safety and health programs: workplace consulta-
tion, voluntary protection programs, grants, strategic partnerships, state plans, training, and educa-
tion. Guidance such as OSHA’s Safety and Health Management Program Guidelines identify ele-
ments that are critical to the development of a successful safety and health management system.

ment near your telephone.
SERVICE ENGINES SAFELY

Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, scarf, loose clothing, or
necklace when you work near machine tools or moving parts. If these items were to
get caught, severe injury or death could result.
Remove rings and other jewelry to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement in
moving parts.
HANDLE STARTING FLUID SAFELY

Starting fluid is highly flammable. When handling starting fluid, keep all sparks and
flame away. Keep starting fluid away from batteries and cables. To prevent acci-
dental discharge when storing the pressurized can, keep the cap on the container,
and store in a cool, protected location. Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid
container.
PROTECT AGAINST NOISE

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect

against objectionable or uncomfortable, loud noises.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Operating
equipment safely requires the FULL ATTENTION of the operator. Do not wear radio
or music headphones while operating machine.
INSTALL FAN GUARDS

Rotating cooling system fans can cause serious injury.
Keep fan guards in place at all times during engine operation. Wear close fitting
clothes. Stop the engine and be sure fan is stopped before making adjustments or
connections, or cleaning near the front of the engine.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
HANDLE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS SAFELY
Direct exposure to hazardous chemicals can cause serious injury. Potentially
hazardous chemicals used with Astec Mobile Screens equipment include such
items as lubricants, coolants, paints, and adhesives. A Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and
health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
Check the MSDS before you start any job using a hazardous chemical. That way
you will know exactly what the risks are and how to do the job safely. Then fol-
low procedures and recommended equipment. (See your Astec Mobile Screens
dealer for MSDS’s on chemical products used with Astec Mobile Screens equip-
ment)
PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE.

Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.
■ Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is moving.

■ Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-drive parts.
■ Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure.
■ Lower equipment to the ground.
■ Stop the engine.
■ Remove the key, allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately.
Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making

adjustments on electrical systems or welding on machine. On towed implements,
disconnect wiring harnesses from tractor before servicing electrical system com-
ponents or welding on machine.
AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury or
death.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other

lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high
pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Any fluid injected in the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doc-
tors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
SERVICE COOLING SYSTEM SAFELY
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling system can cause serious
burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen cap to “first stop” position to relieve pressure before remov-
ing completely.
WORK IN VENTILATED AREA

Expel engine exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust pipe extension.
If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the doors to get outside air
into the area.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology. Poten-
tially harmful wastes used with Astec Mobile Screen equipment include such items
as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
Use leak proof containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage con-
tainers that may mislead someone into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmo-
sphere. Government regulations may require a certified air conditioning service
center to recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environ-
mental or recycling center, or from your Astec Mobile Screens Dealer.
AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED FLUID LINES

Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pressurized fluid lines, result-
ing in severe burns to yourself or bystanders. Do not heat by welding soldering,
or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials. Pres-
surized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes beyond the immediate flame
area.
DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM

High pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause serious injury or death. Do
not disconnect or attempt repair of fuel lines, sensors, or any other components
between the high-pressure fuel pump and nozzles on engines with High Pressure
Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system. Only technicians familiar with this type of sys-
tem can perform repairs.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering,

or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:

■ Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from area to be affected by heat-
ing. If paint cannot be removed, wear an approved respirator before heating
or welding.
■ If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved respi-
rator.
■ If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water be-
fore welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other flamma-
ble materials from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before
welding or heating.
Do not use chlorinated solvent in areas where welding will take place. Do all work
in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic fumes and dust away. Dispose of
paint and solvent properly.
AVOID HOT PARTS

Avoid skin contact with exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, mufflers, and other hot
parts. Keep flammable materials clear of all hot parts.
External dry exhaust parts become very hot during operation. Turbochargers
may reach temperatures as high as 500°C (932° F) under full load, and naturally
aspired exhaust manifolds may reach 600° C (1112° F) under full load.
This may ignite paper, cloth or wooden materials. Parts on engines that have
been at full load and reduced to no load idle will maintain approximately 140° C
(302° F) temperatures.
DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM

High pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause serious injury or death. Do
not disconnect or attempt repair of fuel lines, sensors, or any other components
between the high-pressure fuel pump and nozzles on engines with High Pres-
sure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system. Only technicians familiar with this type of
system can perform repairs.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS

Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Bat-
tery vapors can explode. Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a volt meter or hydrometer. Do not charge a frozen battery;
it may explode. Warm battery to 16° C (60° F).

DIRECTFEED 2516T
AVOID HARMFUL ASBESTOS DUST
Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components contain-
ing asbestos fibers. Inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer.
Components in products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake
band and lining assemblies, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos used
in these components is usually found in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal
handling is not hazardous as long as airborne dust containing asbestos is not
generated.
Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid brushing or
grinding material containing asbestos. When servicing, wear an approved respira-
tor. A special vacuum cleaner is recommended to clean asbestos. If not available,
apply a mist of oil or water on the material containing asbestos.
Keep bystanders away from the area.
PROTECT AGAINST HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY

Spray from high pressure nozzles can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
Keep spray from contacting hands or body.
If an accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Any fluid injected in the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doc-
tors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
HANDLING BATTERIES SAFELY
CAUTION: Battery vapors can explode. Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from
the top of battery. Use a flashlight to check battery electrolyte level.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrom-
eter. Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last.
CAUTION: Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin, eat
holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:

1. Filling batteries in a well ventilated area.
2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves (CHECK)
3. Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.
5. Using proper jump start procedure.
If you spill acid on yourself:

1. Flush your skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush your eyes with water for 15-30 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.
2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not exceed 2L (2qt)
3. Get medical attention immediately.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.

Screen
The 2516 double deck screen, a true 5” x 16’ screen, is driven by a 825 RPM vibrating mechanism
mounted on the screen box. Amplitude is adjustable with add on weights.
The oversized material of the screen will be discharged by the conveyor at the rear of the plant. The
material that passes the top deck and is held on the bottom deck, will be discharged on the on-
board stacking conveyor on the road side of the plant.
All material (that has made it through both the top and bottom screens) will be discharged by the
fines conveyor located at the curb side of the plant. The fines conveyor can be set to operate either
as a feeder to an auxiliary conveyor, or set to create a stockpile. For a more detailed explanation of
how to set the fines conveyor to either auxiliary or stockpile positions, refer to the setup section of
this manual.
To determine the proper angle at which to screen your material, first establish what sort of material
will be screened. When determining the screen box angle remember these general rules.
■ Normal screen operating angle is 15°.
■ The angle meter (Figure 23) located on the curb side of the screen box measures the angle of
the screen.

MAINTENANCE

DIRECTFEED 2516T
Overall Inspection
A visual inspection of the plant should be done on a daily basis. By inspecting the plant visually each
day you may be able to spot and correct potential problems before they become serious.
1. Check all grease lines, ensure they are properly routed, free of rips, punctures and bulges, and
connected securely. See appendix A for a complete greasing schedule.
2. Make sure plant is level. Environmental variations can cause the plant to become uneven. Use an
accurate level to ensure the plant is level both front to back and side to side. If the plant is operated
in any matter other than level, poor performance or damage to the equipment may occur.
3. Visually inspect all guards. Ensure guards are properly aligned and tilted at the correct angle.
Check to make certain guards are free from obstructions and are not rubbing belt.
4. Check for loose fittings. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and

other connections are secure. Check all pins and clips.
When a pin is being used to support a section, a cot-
ter pin must be used to protect against vibrations work-
ing the pin out of its location. Make sure all pins and
clips are in proper working order and fastened securely.
5. Ensure all hydraulic lines are routed correctly, free of

rips, punctures and bulges, and have solid connections.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop to pinpoint
leaks.
Figure 28

surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
6. Check battery for corrosion or damage. The battery is located in a plastic bin near the engine. To
access the battery, remove plastic wing nuts from both sides of bin and pull cover off. Make certain
battery terminals are free of corrosion and other debris.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
Hydraulic Maintenance
The hydraulic tank fluid level should be visible in the sight meter at all times. Do not allow the hy-
draulic fluid level to fall below this line. If the amount does fall below this line, add fluid until visible.
Operating the plant with an insufficient level of hydraulic oil can cause premature wear or damage to
equipment.
All motors must have a constant supply of hydraulic oil in order to maintain good running condition.
Damage to hydraulic pumps can occur if hydraulic oil level does not stay within satisfactory levels.
If adding hydraulic oil, be certain to filter the oil before adding it to the hydraulic oil tank. Even new
hydraulic oil contains impurities.
Condensation in the hydraulic tank can occur during certain operating conditions. Keeping the tank
full will minimize the amount of condensation. If excess condensation is detected, drain hydraulic oil
tank and fill will new hydraulic oil.
At certain times, hydraulic oil will need to be replaced. Additionally, the hydraulic oil return filter and
high pressure filter, along with the breather will need to be replaced at certain intervals of operating.
Refer to Appendix A for suitable hydraulic oils and a detailed maintenance schedule.
All Conveyors
Be certain to maintain all safety procedures while working on conveyors. Some maintenance
may require conveyors to be running, such as training the belt. Allow only authorized personnel
to operate the equipment and perform maintenance on the plant.
Training the Belt

Although the belt is trained at the factory, many variations can cause the belt to become misaligned.
The belt should be running directly down the center of the idlers.
Several factors can effect the way the belt tracks, and depending
on the operating conditions, variations of these factors can occur.
Physical variations can include: alignment of pulleys (head and

tail) and idlers. In rare cases, the squareness of the belt splice can
cause serious variations in the conveyors path.
Operating variations include: the size of load and levelness of belt.

A loaded belt may also run differently than an empty belt. In order
to properly train the belt, reduce the number of both physical and
operating variables.
If the belt needs to be trained use the following procedures. NOTE:

the effects of training the belt will not be immediate. Allow
several complete rotations of the belt before making further
adjustments.
1. Use an accurate steel square to check the idlers. Improperly

aligned idlers are a common cause of belt misalignment. Start by
Figure 29

DIRECTFEED 2516T
adjusting the return idlers. (Figure 29) After adjusting return idlers, if belt is still straying, adjust several
idlers behind the point at which the belt strays.
Begin the troubleshooting process by performing this adjustment on the opposite side of the belt that
runs off the roller.
Do not attempt to make extreme adjustments to one idler. Instead, make several slight adjustments to
several idlers. Always allow several rotations to occur before determining belt alignment.
After idlers have been adjusted, place a load onto conveyor and check for alignment. If necessary, repeat
idler adjustments until content with alignment.
2. If adjusting the idlers does not work, an adjustment to the take-up screws may be necessary. The
screws are located on either side of the head/tail pulley, and can be adjusted with a 1 5/8” socket.
This is not the most common cause of a misaligned belt, but the process can be used as a last resort
to troubleshoot the situation.
Ensure the head pulley is properly aligned

with the tail pulley by adjusting the take-up
screws. By increasing the tension on either
side of the head/tail pulley, the belt will shift in
that direction.
By decreasing the tension to either side of

the head/tail pulley, the belt will shift in the
opposite direction. Keep in mind that the
head/tail pulley must stay parallel with the
conveyor frame. If the head/tail pulley is
not parallel with the conveyor, the belt will Figure 30
stray. By adjusting the head pulley you are
attempting to create a parallel line with the
conveyor frame.
After adjusting the take-up screws, run the belt

and check for proper alignment. Allow several
full rotations of the conveyor belt before deter-
mining satisfaction of alignment.
Figure 30a

DIRECTFEED 2516T
Belt Tension
If belt is sagging excessively when a load is ap-
plied, it may be necessary to increase belt ten-
sion. Use the take-ups to increase and decrease
belt tension. When adjusting belt tension be sure
that the distance at which the take-ups are ex-
tended is equal on both sides of head/tail pulley.
Improperly aligning the head/tail pulley will cause
the belt to stray. Be certain not to create to much
tension on the belt.
Guards
Make sure return idler guards are in proper place
and are not damaged. Guards should be tilted
at the proper angle and free from obstructions.
Guards should not be rubbing the conveyor belt. Figure 31
Belt Cleaners
Located at the head pulley end of the side and delivery conveyors are the belt cleaners. Make sure
all fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary. Inspect the belt cleaner for excessive wear. Allow 3” of
wear on urethane. If blades are worn beyond the wear line, replace as follows.
1. Release tension on mainframe and remove belt cleaner assembly.

2. Use a hammer to remove worn blades from mainframe by pounding downward on bases of worn
blades. Pound new blades onto mainframe after old blades have been removed.
3. Change worn blades with appropriate replacements.
See tension setting decal placed next to belt cleaner for proper tension settings. See the Parts Section
of this manual for replacement part information. Consult the full belt cleaner manual in Appendix C for
more detailed information.
Bearings
Visually inspect bearings on head and tail pulleys.
A small amount of grease around seal is normal.
Excessive grease or lack of grease around seals
may be a sign of bearing temperature problems. For
a detailed description of the greasing schedule, refer
to the lubrication Schedule on page 60.
The plant is equipped with ground level accessible
grease zerks.
Figure 32

DIRECTFEED 2516T
NOTE: When greasing bearings DO NOT over grease! Over greasing will place too much
stress on the seals, causing them to no longer function correctly.
Abnormal bearing temperature may indicate poor lubrication. Normal operating temperatures may range
from cool to touch to too hot to touch, depending on bearing size, speed and surrounding conditions.
Unusually high temperature accompanied by excessive leakage of grease indicates too much grease.
High temperature with no grease showing at the seals, particularly if the bearing is noisy, usually
indicates too little grease.
The bearings have been lubricated at the factory

with No. 2 consistency lithium base grease. This
grease is suitable for normal operation conditions.
Re-lubricate bearings with lithium base grease
or a grease which is compatible with the original
lubricant and that is suitable for ball bearing
service. In unusual or doubtful cases, contact your
local Astec Mobile Screens Dealer.
Flashing
Check Flashing inside of top deck, bottom deck,
feed bin, screen box hoppers, and delivery
conveyor. Flashing is used to prevent spillage
from occurring.
In order to properly prevent spillage, flashing must

be flush with conveyor belt, with a minimum gap. Figure 33
Check to make certain flashing is not excessively
rubbing conveyor.
If flashing is not aligned correctly or needs to be re-aligned, loosen tension brackets (1) by loosening
nut (4) and adjust flashing to proper position.
After realignment, tighten tension bracket nuts. If flashing is worn to the point that it is not preventing
spillage, replace flashing with correct replacement part. See parts section for specific flashing sizes.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
Pillow Block Bearings
High Speed Operation – In the higher speed ranges, too much grease will cause overheating.
The amount of grease that the bearing will take for a particular high speed application can only be
determined by experience. If excess grease in the bearing causes overheating, it will be necessary to
remove grease fitting to permit excess grease to escape. The bearing has been greased at the factory
and is ready to run. When establishing a re-lubrication schedule, note that a small amount of grease
at frequent intervals is preferable to a large amount at infrequent intervals.
JD Engine Break-In Service
Before starting, fill engine with seasonal viscosity grade oil and with coolant meeting specifications. (See DIESEL
ENGINE OIL and DIESEL ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant Section in
the John Deere Engine Manual.)
• During the first 20 hours, avoid prolonged periods of engine idling or sustained maximum load operation.
Warm-up engine carefully and operate at normal loads. If engine will idle longer than 5 minutes, stop
engine.
• Check oil level daily or every 10 hours during engine break-in period. If oil must be added during this period,
use seasonal viscosity grade oil. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant section of
the John Deere Engine Manual.)
• Watch oil pressure (F) and coolant temperature (E) closely during break-in period. Also check coolant level
daily or every 10 operational hours and check for leaks.
• Check poly-vee belt for proper alignment and seating in pulley grooves.
• Change engine oil and oil filter after the first 100 hours of use.
After break-in period, change oil and filter every 500 hours/12 months. (See CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND
FILTER in Lubrication and Maintenance/500 Hour Section of the John Deere Engine Manual.) Fill crankcase
with seasonal viscosity grade oil. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL, in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant Section of the
John Deere Manual.)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine when oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick. Check oil level before
starting engine for the first time.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT fill above the top mark on the dipstick. Oil levels anywhere within crosshatch
(Figure A) are considered to be in the acceptable operating range.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT add makeup oil until the oil level is BELOW the crosshatch marks on the
dipstick.

Scheduled Maintenance
Daily Checks
In order to maintain your equipment and keep it running at optimal performance, spend a
few minutes each day visually checking the following components. By doing a daily check,
you may find possible problems that need immediate attention or simply components that
are worn but not broken. Worn parts can be replaced at a convenient time such as when the
machine is not in use, keeping your plant running when it has to!
Overall
Take a walk around the plant and ensure all hydraulic lines are routed correctly, are free of
bulges, and are not leaking. Check beneath plant for evidence of leaks, such as puddles or
stains. Check the hydraulic oil tank sight meter. Make sure the hydraulic oil is visible in the
meter. If oil is not visible, fill with new hydraulic oil until level reaches a safe operating level.
While checking the sight meter, ensure that condensation is not present within the reservoir.
Screen Box
Make sure aggregate spreader is properly inserted and that the chain is connected. Inspect
the chutes and hoppers for obstructions or excessive debris. Check screen cloth for wear,
damage and tension. If screen cloth or aggregate has worn through the crown rubber which
supports the screen cloth, replace crown rubber.
Conveyors
On all conveyors connected to your plant, ensure that the belt tension is correct and that
the splice is in proper condition, free of rips or large gaps. Check that belt scrapers are set
to proper tension and are not either excessively rubbing the belt or not tensioned enough to
clear the carryback debris. Ensure all idlers are in the proper position and fastened tightly to
the conveyor frame. Make sure guards are in the proper place and that flashing is not worn
through.

DIRECTFEED 2516T
50 Hour Checks
At 50 hours, you have probably become familiar with your plant, the way it looks, the way it sounds,
and more importantly, the way it runs! After 50 hours of operation, your plant needs a few tune-ups
that will keep it running at it’s peak performance.
The speed reducer located on the feed bin conveyor allows the belt to run at a slow speed while
keeping the torque it needs to pull the product along to the delivery conveyor. After the first 50 hours
of operation, drain, flush and clean out the speed reducer.
Remove drain plug and allow reducers to fully drain. Remember to dispose of old lubricants
properly! After speed reducer is fully drained, flush the interior and refill with High Grade petroleum
based rust oxidation inhibitor. Use only 128 oz.. DO NOT OVERFILL. Do not use EP oils with
slippery additives.
Additionally, replace the hydraulic filter. There is no need to change the hydraulic oil until the
first 500 hours of operation. For proper filter replacement contact Astec Mobile Screens sales
department.
250 Hour Checks

After 250 hours of operation, your machine is well broken in and should need seldom adjustments
and maintenance done. Replace the High pressure hydraulic filter, and the hydraulic return filter.
The filters prevent debris and other contaminants from entering your hydraulic system. If these
contaminants were to breach the filters defenses, severe damage will be done to your machine.
500 Hour Checks

Replace the fuel filter and the primary and secondary air filters in the John Deere engine. After
500 hours of operation change the Hydraulic Oil. After the initial 500 hours, the hydraulic oil need
only be changed every 1000 hours.
While greasing remember to use lithium base grease and DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling the
grease lines will cause the seals to fail.

Warranty

DIRECTFEED 2516T
STANDARD WARRANTY
Astec Mobile Screens, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “AMS”) warrants its products to its authorized Distributor, as
specified herein, and Distributor agrees to extend this same warranty (and no other) to each purchaser of the products
of AMS at the time of sale and to notify each purchaser of the terms and conditions of this Warranty. Distributor is not
authorized by AMS to make any other, different, or additional warranty on behalf of AMS, and any such warranty given
by distributor is not binding on AMS. Distributor shall hold AMS harmless from any loss and/or costs (including attorney’s
fees) arising from failure to observe these conditions. AMS extends this same Warranty to those, in addition to its
authorized distributors, who buy the PRODUCTS of AMS directly rather than purchasing from an authorized Distributor.
AMS warrants, commencing with the date of receipt of the goods by first end-user and for a period of twelve (12)
months or two thousand (2000) hours, whichever comes first, all machinery and parts manufactured by AMS to be
free from defects in workmanship and material. If, within such warranty period, any machinery or parts shall be proved
to the satisfaction of AMS to be defective, it shall be replaced or, at the option of AMS, repaired at its factory, F.O.B.
AMS’ manufacturing plant in Sterling, Illinois at no charge (providing the defective machinery or parts are returned to
AMS’ manufacturing plant, IL freight prepaid). At its option, AMS may repair, or arrange to have repaired, any defective
machinery or parts, at the location of the Distributor, at the yard location or operating site of the first end-user, or at any
other suitable location at no charge to the first end-user and at no charge to Distributor other than those specified in its
Distributor Agreement. The right to have defective machinery or parts repaired or replaced shall constitute Distributor’s
and first end-user’s sole and exclusive remedy.
AMS may, at its sole discretion, refund the purchase price or defective machinery or parts in lieu of repairing or
replacing them, providing the defective machinery or parts are returned to AMS manufacturing plant, freight prepaid,
and providing such return is authorized by AMS. AMS may, at its sole discretion, waive the requirement that defective
machinery or parts be returned to its factory in connection with a warranty claim.
The obligation of AMS under the terms of this Warranty is limited to the described repair or replacement of defective
machinery or parts. Labor for warranty repair will be paid under a formula determined by AMS. With regard to machinery,
parts or accessories which are furnished by AMS, but not manufactured by it, the warranty obligation of AMS shall be
limited to and the same as that of its supplier. No warranty shall apply to any used machinery or parts. No warranty shall
apply to the products of AMS which, in its opinion, have been adversely affected by the use, on or with its products, of
parts, attachments, equipment, or lubricants not manufactured, sold or authorized by AMS.
No warranty shall apply to machinery, parts or accessories which have been furnished, repaired or altered by
others so as (in the opinion of AMS) to have affected the same adversely. No warranty shall apply to machinery, parts
or accessories which (in the opinion of AMS) have been subjected to accident, negligence, or improper operation,
installation, maintenance, storage, care or other-than-normal use during and after shipment.
AMS warrants that field services conducted by it in connection with installation or repair of machinery and parts will be
performed in a good workmanlike manner. The obligation and liability of AMS in connection with field services shall be
limited to a refund of the amount it charged for such services, if any.
Inasmuch as the work to be performed by the buyer or end-user with the machinery or parts furnished by AMS will vary
according to the materials used, local conditions, and the results required and that such variation will continue throughout
the use of such machinery or parts, it is not possible to (and AMS does not) warrant or represent that machinery and parts
furnished by it will handle specific materials or will produce specific results from such materials. Any application analysis
and resultant equipment performance expectations are provided as estimates only and are not to be construed in any
manner as a production guarantee.
AMS is wholly discharged of all liability under the foregoing warranties in the event that purchaser of the machinery or
parts fails to pay for the goods promptly and in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement.
AMS’s liability hereunder is conditioned upon Distributor (or in the event of a direct sale to a first end-user, then first
end-user) giving notice in writing to AMS of any alleged defect, and such notice must be given immediately upon the
discovery of such alleged defect; such notice must be received by AMS not later than 30 days after the expiration of the
warranty period.
AMS does not warrant or represent that any machinery, parts, or accessories furnished by it meet any Federal, State,
or Local statutes, codes, ordinances, rules, standard or other regulations covering safety, pollution, noise, electrical wiring,
etc.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (EXCEPT THE
WARRANTY OF TITLE) INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY, AMS SHALL
NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABLITIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO MACHINERY,
PARTS, ACCESSORIES, OR SERVICES MANUFACTURED OR FURNISHED BY IT OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS
OR OMISSIONS OR OTHER DAMAGES, EXPENSES, LOSSES OR DELAYS HOWSOEVER CAUSED. THERE ARE
NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF.
