Rockshaft pivot points –
Pivot grease
zerk
Electrode coulters Pivot --In all but the most extremely rocky conditions, the coulter electrodes should not
flex in the field, thus minimal movement will occur at the pivot. 80-hour intervals are typically sufficient.
grease zerk
Each pivot (located at the left and right) contains
a grease zerk. Due to the limited motion of the rockshaft, these should be
lubricated on 20-hour intervals. This may vary based on the number of times
the unit is raised and lowered.
