Lubrication Maintenance - Landoll VT PLUS 7430 Operator's Manual

4-20 LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE

4-20.1 Table 4-3 specifies the number and the
period of lubrication points on the 7430 VT
Plus. Proper maintenance of your machine
will, under normal operating conditions, help
to keep it operating at or near its peak per-
formance for an extended period of time.
Proper maintenance is also a condition of
keeping your warranty in good status (See
Figure 4-20).
4-20.2 When lubricating the VT Plus, SAE
multi-purpose EP grease, or EP grease with
3-5% molybdenum sulfide is recommended.
Wipe soil from fittings before greasing. Re-
place any lost or broken fittings immediately.
4-20.3 Disc gang and conditioner reel bearings
are equipped with triple-lip seals that will let
grease pass and not harm the seal. Regular
lubrication will maintain a full grease cavity
and help purge any contaminants. Grease
the bearings before long periods of storage
to prevent moisture buildup within the bear-
ing cavity.
4-20.4 Wheel seals and walking tandem seals,
when properly installed, will allow grease to
pass without harm to seals. Regular lubrica-
tion will extend service life, particularly in se-
vere operating conditions.
4-20.5 The VT Plus is equipped with mainte-
nance-free bearings in the lifts, leveler, wing
hinges and gauge wheel casters. These ar-
eas require no lubrication.
