Alternative and Synthetic Lubricants
Conditions in certain geographical areas may require
lubricant recommendations different from those printed in
this manual.
Some lubricants may not be available in your location.
Consult your KEMPER dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.
Mixing Lubricants
In general, avoid mixing different brands or types of oil.
Oil manufacturers blend additives in their oils to meet
certain specifications and performance requirements.
Lubricant Storage
Your equipment can operate at top efficiency only when
clean lubricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store lubricants and containers in an area protected from
dust, moisture, and other contamination. Store containers
on their side to avoid water and dirt accumulation.
At the Start of Every Harvesting Season
Before putting the harvester into operation, carry out a
general check of the friction clutches in the main drive,
and do a check on the gatherer drums. In the "Service"
section, see "Relieving Pressure at the Slip Clutches on
the Main Drive".
Lubrication and Periodic Service
Synthetic lubricants may be used if they meet the
performance requirements as shown in this manual.
The temperature limits and service intervals shown in
this manual apply to both conventional and synthetic
lubricants.
Re-refined base stock products may be used if the
finished lubricant meets the performance requirements.
Mixing different oils can interfere with the proper
functioning of these additives and degrade lubricant
performance.
Consult your KEMPER dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.
Make certain that all containers are properly marked to
identify their contents.
Properly dispose of all old containers and any residual
lubricant they may contain.
Run the rotary harvesting unit for a few minutes. Then
check all the bearings. If overheating or excessive play
is found, replace the relevant bearings before operating
the rotary harvesting unit.
