Universal Joint Assemblies
•
Cross Journal: Every 8 hours.
•
Apply only one or two strokes from a hand-type grease gun. Over lubrication may cause damage to seals.
•
Shield Retaining Bearing: Every 8 hours.
•
Inner Sleeve: Every 20 hours. Pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the slip
shaft.
•
Push Pin: Every 20 hours.
•
Telescoping Tubes: Every 4 hours. Apply grease to the collar located at the middle of the shaft.
Occasionally (monthly) pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the slip shaft. At
least once per year (more often in dusty or dirty conditions) the shielding should be removed and the old
grease removed with a solvent. A fresh coat of grease should then be applied to the entire surface of the
inner tube.
If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two halves
cannot slip freely, damage to the rock windrower or tractor may occur.
Windrower Frame
•
Drum Frame Clamps: 8 hours
•
Interlock Rotator: 8 hours
•
Transport Wheel: 50 hours
•
Pivoting Wheel Assembly: 50 hours, 8 Locations
•
External Flange Bearings: 50 hours 3 locations. All flange bearings are permanently lubricated. However,
grease fittings are provided on the external units. Grease should be pumped into the bearing until it is seen
purging at the clearance between the outer race and slinger.
Wheel Hubs
•
Wheel Hubs: Yearly. Fill until grease is seen purging at the axle seals.
Drive Chain
•
Apply light grease or oil to the drive chain after every 8 hours of operation. Operating conditions may
require that the chain be lubricated more frequently. Do not allow the chain to dry out.
STORAGE
It is recommended that the chain be removed from the machine, cleaned and stored in oil over the winter
months.
Install the drum transport pin. Disconnect the main lift cylinder at the rod end and retract the rod for storage.
Retracting the cylinder rods will prevent rusting, ensure that the cylinders are full of oil, and relieve pressure in
the hydraulic circuit. If the cylinder rods are not retracted smear grease over any exposed hydraulic cylinder
rods.
Install the hitch jack on the jack mount located on the outer hitch frame.
The slip clutch should be removed from the machine and stored inside when not in use for long periods of time.
When disconnecting from the tractor for a short period of time, use the driveline holders. When storing the rock
windrower for an extended period of time, it is recommended the drivelines be removed from machine and
stored inside.
