Lubrication
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
The machine has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base
Grease. If the machine is operated under normal
conditions, lubricate all bearings and bushings after
every 50 hours of operation or immediately after every
washing.
1. Lubricate the following areas:
• Castor fork shaft bushings (2)(Figure 20)
• Spindle shaft bearings (3) (located under the
pulley) (Figure 21)
• Idler arm shaft bearings (Figure 21)
• Lift arm pivots, front (2) (Figure 22)

Figure 21
• Lift arm pivots, rear (2) (Figure 23)
2. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level
surface and lower the cutting unit. Remove the
dipstick/fill plug from the top of the gear box
(Figure 24) and make sure that the lubricant is
between the marks on the dipstick. If the lubricant
level is low, add SAE 80-90 wt. gear lube until the
level is between the marks. The gear box capacity
is 12 oz. (283 ml).
