 Adjustment of The Height of Filling Rod Retainer (refer to Fig. 19, 20, 21)
 
 The density and volume of powder column change with the height of the filling rod. Appropriate
 adjustment of filling rod height leads to precise volume of powder filling. The depth that filling rod
 
 enters dosing disk may be decided upon the reference table and not be too deep. When filling rod
 holder is at the lowest position, the “0” scale line of retainer represents that the lower surface of filling
 
 rod is at the same level as the lower surface of dosing disk, i.e., the numerical reading aligned with the
 work position line of sight glass is the very height of the lower end surface of filling rod from sealing
 
 ring. To adjust the height, loosen the fastening screw on adjusting rod, rotate the knob on the screw
 
 stem counterclockwise so as to raise the filling rod, and then rotate the knob clockwise to lower it to
 desired height, finally tighten the fastening nut. That is to say, adjustment shall be made in the order
 
 from high to low.

 Adjustment of Driving Chain (refer to Fig. 31) 
 
 If you find the chain is too loose, you can adjust the chain by moving jockey pulley but neither let the
 
 chain go off any chain pulley nor unlock the chain, otherwise the movement order of the whole
 mechanism will be disturbed. 
 
 Check the chain once a week. Tighten and lubricate the chain if necessary.

 Maintenance and Cleaning of the Machine 
 
 In long operation of the machine, regularly clean the parts that contact powder directly. Also clean
 these parts when replacing another kind of medicine powder or shut down for a long time (general
 
 more than three months). 
 Deal with greasy dirt at driving parts in the lower part of the machine every operation for 500 hours,
 
 and check wear and tear, confirm no abnormal station, then running again after adding lubricant.
 Clean the filter of vacuum system once times every operation for 200 hours. (Refer to Fig. 32)
 
 Lubrication 
 Coating the working surface of cam with grease once time every operation for 50 hours (lithium base
 
 grease 2#). 
 
 Lubricate the joint bearings of all connecting rod under the working bench once time every operation
 for 50 hours (machine oil over 90#). 
 
 Lubricate all kinds of bearings once time every operation for 50 hours, roller bearing and sliding
 bearing lubricate machine oil over 90#, line bearing lubricate lithium base grease 0#. According to the
 
 actual operation situation of the necessary shorten the time to lubricate or clean.
 
 Check and lubricate the driving chain for tightness every operation for 50 hours (lithium base grease
 Zit). 
 Check the main driving reducer for oil volume once every operation for 250 hours, and fill oil in time.
 Replace lubrication every operation for 3000 hours or half year, which arrive at first as limit.
 (Model A: lithium base grease 0#. Model B: industrial closed type Ep gear oil with viscosity 460~680,
 
 and original oil is Shell Omala 220, we suggest adopt the same brand as much as possible.)

 Check Powder-feeding reducer for oil volume once every operation for 250 hours, and fill oil in time.
 Replace lubrication every operation for 1000 hours or 4 months, which arrive at first as limit. (Man-
 made worm gear oil with viscosity 550~680, or TIVEL 
 AOIL Sc 320 of Shell, or GL YGOYLE 30 of Mobil.) 
 
 Replace lubrication for two index boxes initial operation for 1000 hours or 4 months (first arriver as
 
 limit), then replace once every operation for 3000 hours or 1 year (first arriver as limit). (Industrial
 closed type Ep gear oil with viscosity 320~460, and original oil is Mobil Gear 632, we suggest adopt
 
 the same brand as much as possible.) 
 
 Remove cover plate of revolving platform every operation for 50 hours, lubricate once T-type shaft
 and each moving points in guide rod brass sleeve and sliding bearing and roller bearing (machine oil
 
 over 90#), line bearing (lithium base grease 0#). Uninstall T-type shaft and sealing ring for complete
 cleaning every operation for 1000 hours, check wear and tear, confirm no abnormal station and
 
 lubricate, then running again. 
 
 Note: capsule filling machine adopt cam system to drive pendulum bar for most mechanical
 
 movement of the machine. All positions of cams are precisely adjusted in manufacturing
 factory. To prevent any possible collision of different parts inside machine, please do not
 
 adjust any cam or other parts of driving system. Necessary adjustment should be by technician
 form manufacturer or under instructions of professional technician.
