LUBRICATION
GREASING BEARINGS, BUSHINGS AND GEAR BOX
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If the machine is
operated under normal conditions, lubricate the caster bearings and
bushings with No. 2 general purpose lithium grease or molybdenum
base grease, after every 8 hours of operation or daily, whichever
comes first. All other bearings, bushings and the gear box must be
lubricated after every 50 hours of operation.
1.
The cutting unit has bearings and bushings that must be lubri-
cated, and these lubrication points are: the caster spindle bush-
ings (Fig. 4); caster wheel bearings (Fig. 4 and 5); blade spindle
bearings (Fig. 6); right and left push arm ball joints (Fig. 6).
2.
Lower the cutting unit so the caster wheels are on a level sur-
face Remove check plug (Fig . 6) from the side of gear box
and check the level of lubricant If the level of lubricant is low,
remove the fill plug on top of gear box and add SAE 80-90 wt
gear lube until the level is up to the bottom of check hole
