Grease Bearings, Bushings
And Gear Box
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If machine
is operated under normal conditions, lubricate castor
bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose lithium
base grease or molybdenum base grease, after every 8
hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first.
Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing,
regardless of the interval listed.
1. The cutting unit has bearings and bushings that must
be lubricated, and these lubrication points are: front
castor shaft bushings (2) (Fig. 17), blade spindle
bearings (3) (Fig. 18), gage wheel (Fig. 19), right and
left push arm ball joints (Fig. 20).

lube until level is up to bottom of hole in side.
