Grease PTO Bearings

There are only two grease fittings on the machine. These are found on the
main drive shaft bearings. All other shaft bearings do not require greasing.
▪
Grease main drive shaft bearings every 50 hours. Pump 3–5 shots
each with a standard manually operated grease gun.
▪
Power assisted grease gun is NOT recommended
▪
Use NLGI grade 2 General Purpose Grease only.
IMPORTANT! Do not over grease. Forcing grease into the
bearings will damage the seals.

Check Track Tension

A properly adjusted track has
slack with the track tension adjuster. In order to properly measure slack,
the track must be lifted off the ground. Lift each track up using the Jacking
Procedure. Loose tracks can more easily de-track; however do not over-
tighten. Over-tightening may cause power loss, excessive idler bearing
wear, and damage the tracks.
See page 43.
