Lubrication - Haybuster H-1130 Operating Instructions And Parts Reference

5. Check for loose or worn chains, belts, sprockets and pulleys.
6. Keep sprockets and pulleys aligned.
7. Inspect rotor and all rotating parts for wrapped twine or wire build up.
8. If machine is going to sit idle for an extended period of time, tub floor should be cleaned to prevent rust
and sticking problems at start up time.
9. The proper tire pressure is 48 PSI (3.3 BAR).
10. The wheel bearings should be checked for lubrication and adjustments yearly, preferably at the end of the
season.
If a generous amount of grease is on the bearing and in the housing, and if the grease is soft, the grease will not need
changing.
If the lubricant is caked and the bearing seems dry, wash the bearing to remove old grease. Repack the bearing.
3.1

Lubrication

CAUTION: Follow normal shutdown procedure before adjusting or lubricating.
When operating the H-1130 Tub Grinder during cold weather, perform all lubrication after bearings are at operating
temperatures.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Bearings operating in the presence of dust and water should contain as much grease as speed will permit, since a full
bearing with a slight leakage is the best protection against entrance of foreign material. In the higher speed ranges, too
much grease will cause overheating.
High-speed operation, abnormal bearing temperature may indicate faulty lubrication. Normal temperature may range
from "cool to warm to the touch" up to a point. Unusually high temperatures "too hot to touch for more than a few
seconds" accompanied by excessive leakage of grease indicates too much grease. High temperatures with no grease
showing at the seals, particularly if the bearing seems noisy, usually indicate too little grease. Normal temperature and
a slight showing of grease at the seals indicate proper lubrication.
The following chart is a general guide for relubrication. Certain conditions may require a change of lubrication periods
as dictated by experience.
