4-22 LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE

4-22.1 Table 4-3 specifies the number and the
period of lubrication points on the 6230 Disc.
Proper maintenance of your machine will, un-
der normal operating conditions, help to keep
it operating at or near its peak performance
for an extended period of time. Proper main-
tenance is also a condition of keeping your
warranty in good status (See Figure 4-19).
4-22.2 When lubricating
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.
4-22.3 Disc gang bearings are equipped with
triple-lip seals that will let grease pass and

4-23 STORAGE

4-23.1 The service life of the Disc will be ex-
tended by proper off-season storage prac-
tices. Prior to storing the unit, complete the
following procedures:

parts. Replace as needed.
c. Repaint all areas where the original paint is

maintain a full grease cavity and help purge
any contaminants. Grease the bearings be-
fore long periods of storage to prevent mois-
ture buildup within the bearing cavity.
4-22.4 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.
4-22.5 The disc is equipped with mainte-
nance-free bearings in the lifts, leveler, wing
hinges and gauge wheel casters. These ar-
eas require no lubrication.
e. Apply a light coating of oil or grease to ex-
posed cylinder rods to prevent them from
rusting.
f. Lubricate each point of the machine as
stated in Section 4-8.
4-23.2 Store the unit in a shed or under a tar-
paulin to protect it from the weather. The
ground tools and tires should rest on boards,
or some other object, to keep them out of the
soil.
4-23.3 If the unit must be stored outside, un-
fold the disc to prevent moisture buildup in
the disc gang and wheel bearings.
4-23.4 If the unit is stored in the folded posi-
