BLADE SPINDLE GREASING
:
All SDR models prior to SDR65 s#14365073 and SDR90 S#14390080 are equipped
with greaseable spindle assemblies. The top bearing on all spindle assemblies has a
shield only. This allows grease to exit and relieves any pressure build up inside
spindle housing, when greasing. Greasing of blade spindles should continue until
grease can be seen exiting between the top bearing and the bottom of hub on pulley.
Some working conditions will require this operation to take place every 4 to 5
running hours because of hot working areas. Cooler working areas will only require
greasing every 8 to 10 hours. A proper greasing schedule can only be determined by
operator, depending on working conditions in your particular area.
