4-17 LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE

4-17.1 Figure 4-13 and Table 4-3 specifies
the lubrication points and intervals on the
2130 Wing Coulter Chisel. Proper mainte-
nance of your machine will, under normal op-
erating conditions, help to keep it operating
at or near its peak performance for an ex-
tended period of time. Proper maintenance is
also a condition of keeping your warranty in
good status.
4-17.2 When lubricating the Coulter Chisel,
SAE multi-purpose EP grease, or EP grease
with 3-5% molybdenum sulfide is recom-
mended. Wipe soil from fittings before
greasing. Replace any lost or broken fittings
immediately.

4-18 STORAGE

4-18.1 The service life of the 2130 Wing Coul-
ter Chisel will be extended by proper off-sea-
son storage practices. Prior to storing the
unit, complete the following procedures:
a. Completely clean the unit.
b. Inspect the machine for worn or defective
parts. Replace as needed.
c. Repaint all areas where the original paint is
worn off.
d. Grease all exposed metal surfaces of
shanks, points and coulters.

4-17.3 Coulter gang 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 bear-
ings before long periods of storage to pre-
vent moisture buildup within the bearing cav-
ity.
4-17.4 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.
4-17.5 The Wing Coulter Chisel is equipped
with maintenance-free bearings in the lifts
and leveler. These areas require no lubrica-
tion.
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 4-17.
4-18.2 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.
